hes doing very, very well.
For his birthday, we had

New Year looms, the mess-
age fromthe Luzerne Coun-

day was clear: It is the dawn
of a new day for the county
Court of Common Pleas.
This is a historic day
this is an awesome day, Lu-

before presiding over the

One by one, each of the
six -- Jennifer Rogers, Mi-

Hughes and Fred Pierantoni
-- stood before a packed
courthouse andpromisedto
uphold the Constitution of
the United States.
We wear the robe to sig-
nify we stand apart, Burke
said. Each of us individual-
ly is not a big deal, but what
we do is a very big deal.
The Pledge of Allegiance
echoed around the marble,
century-old building, on the
day the Luzerne County

PEMBERTON, British Colum-
bia A warm spell and heavy,
wet snow are creating a risk of
avalanches in western Canada,
including one that killed a back-
country skier, officials said Fri-
day.
Royal Canadian Mounted Po-
lice Staff Sgt. Alex Boden said a
man in his 30s from Whistler,
British Columbia, was critically
injured in a Thursday afternoon
slide near Pemberton.
Boden said an air rescue
Thursday afternoonwas impossi-
ble because of nightfall. The risk
of more slides are inhibiting re-
covery of the skiers body.
The man was skiing with three
friends on what had been a re-
markable day of deep powder,
fresh tracks and almost spring-
like temperatures in the back-
country trails in the Casper
Creek region, northeast of Whis-
tler. The skiers took to the trails
despite warnings from the Cana-
dian Avalanche Center of a high
avalanche danger across almost
all regions of the province for the
past few days.

PYONGYANG, North Korea
North Korea announced to-
day that Kim Jong Un has been
officially named supreme com-
mander of the military, further
strengthening his authority after
the death of his father, longtime
North Korean leader Kim Jong
Il.
Officials and state media have
bestowed on Kim Jong Un, who
is in his late 20s, a string of titles
as North Koreas elite rally
around himin the wake of his fa-
thers death this month after 17
years in power.
But the title Supreme Com-
mander and its formal procla-
mation by the powerful Political
Bureau of the Central Commit-
tee of the Workers Party is a
clear sign that Kim Jong Un is
fast consolidating power over
North Korea. Its also the latest
step in a burgeoning personality
cult around him.
Kim Jong Un should be the
only center of unity, cohesion
and leadership of the Workers
Party, North Koreas state media
said, and the 1.2 million-strong
military should uphold the son-
gun, or military-first, politics
laid down by Kim Jong Il.
The party said the country
should unite around Kim Jong
Un and strengthen the mono-
lithic leadership system of Kim
Jong Un in the whole party and
society.
An unannounced Workers
Party meeting Friday pro-
claimed that the younger Kim
assumed supreme commander-
ship of the Korean Peoples Ar-
my according to a will made by
KimJongIl onOct. 8, theNorths
official Korean Central News
Agency said in a statement early
this morning.
Themeetingof theNorths rul-
ing party came one day after the
official mourning period for Kim
JongIl endedandsenior military
andpolitical officials publicly de-
clared KimJong Un leader of the
party, military and people at a
memorial for his father attended
by hundreds of thousands.
Titles are an important part of
North Koreas efforts to link Kim
Jong Un to the myth-building
surrounding the Kim family leg-
acy.
KimIl Sung, the countrys first
andonly president, retains the ti-
tle Eternal President even after
his death.
Kim Jong Il held three main
positions: chairman of the Na-
tional Defense Commission,
general secretary of the Workers
Party and supreme commander
of the Korean Peoples Army. Ac-
cording to the constitution, his
position as chairman of the Na-
tional Defense Commission
made him Supreme Leader of
North Korea.
KimJong Un was made a four-
star general last year and ap-
pointed a vice chairman of the
Central Military Commission of
the Workers Party. Since his fa-
thers death, he has racked up
major titles from officials and
state media: Great Successor,
Supreme Leader and Great
Leader earlier Friday. And now
he has officially been named Su-
preme Commander.
The North has made great ef-
forts to showthe world a unified
face, but Kim Jong Uns age and
inexperience have raised ques-
tions outside North Korea about
his leadership of a nation en-
gaged in delicate negotiations
over its nuclear program and
grappling with decades of eco-
nomic hardshipandchronic food
shortages.
The North warned Friday that
therewouldbenosofteningof its
position toward South Koreas
government.
North Koreas powerful Na-
tional Defense Commission said
the country would never deal
with South Korean President
Lee Myung-bak, a conservative
who ended a no-strings-attached
aid policy toward the North in
2008.
We declare solemnly andcon-
fidently that the foolish politic-
ians around the world, including
the puppet group in South Ko-
rea, should not expect any
change from us, the National
Defense Commission said.

MADISON, Wis. Aprosecu-
tor asked the Wisconsin Su-
preme Court onFriday to reopen
his lawsuit challenging Gov.
Scott Walkers contentious col-
lective bargaining law, contend-
ing a justice who voted to dis-
miss the suit earlier this year got
free legal help from the firm de-
fending the law.
Dane County District Attor-
ney Ismael Ozanne argued in fil-
ings with the court that it should
vacate its decision because Jus-
tice Michael Gableman never
disclosed his arrangement with
the Michael Best and Friedrich
lawfirm. Wisconsins ethics code
prohibits state officials from ac-
cepting free gifts, and the judi-
cial ethics code bars judges from
accepting gifts fromanyone like-
ly to appear before them.
Ozanne asked the court to re-
instate a circuit judges earlier
rulingdeclaringthe lawvoidand
disqualify Gableman from par-
ticipating in further proceedings
if he wont recuse himself.
Reasonable, well-informed
people would reasonably ques-
tion Justice Gablemans ability
to be impartial under the facts
presented here, he wrote. Re-
spectfully, any litigant in any
case deserves to have his case
heard by a judge who has not se-
cretly received a valuable gift
from the other sides lawyer.
Gablemans attorney, Viet
Dinh, didnt immediately return
a message late Friday afternoon.
He told the Milwaukee Journal
Sentinel this week that he
doesnt believe the free legal ser-
vices amountedto a gift. Amess-
age left at Michael Best and Frie-
drichs Madison office wasnt im-
mediately returned.
Ozanne filed his lawsuit in
March, alleging Republican law-
makers violated open meetings
laws when they convened a com-
mittee to revise the collective
bargaining measure without
proper public notice. The meet-
ing came during the height of
massive around-the-clock pro-
tests at the state Capitol against
thelegislation, whicheliminated
most public workers union
rights. Walker, a Republican,
said the legislation was needed
to help local governments ab-
sorb deep cuts in state aid.

Pittston-based Joseph J. Joyce Asso-
ciates Inc. wont be the broker for Lu-
zerne County government insurance
packages next year because of past dis-
crepancies, commissioners said Thurs-
day.
Commissioners voted Thursday to
purchase 13 insurance policies through
Eastern Insurance Company.
Mental Health/Mental Retardation
and Agency on Aging liability policies
were purchased through Brown and
Brown Insurance Company.
All insurance was competitively bid
to obtain the lowest price, and com-
missioners said the county saved
about $140,000 while increasing cov-
erage.
County officials asked the Pennsyl-
vania Insurance Commissioner in No-
vember to investigate discrepancies in
information provided by the Joyce
firm.
Companies that bid on county insur-
ance must carry at least $5 million per
claim in errors-and-omissions coverage
in case the county has a problem with
work performed by the broker.
Joyce supplied the county with a
certificate of liability insurance last
year and this year stating that it had
the $5 million coverage through Dar-
win Select Insurance Co., but county
Controller Walter Griffith said he ob-
tained documents from Darwin that
indicate Joyce Associates never pur-
chased that much coverage.
Griffith said Darwin provided paper-
work showing that Joyce Associates
had $1 million in errors-and-omissions
liability insurance per claim from Jan.
15, 2010, to Jan. 15, 2011, and has $3
million in coverage from Jan. 15, 2011,
to Jan. 15, 2012.
A representative of Joyce Associates
told county officials that two other
companies affiliated with Joyce Associ-
ates -- Joyce Jackman & Bell LLC and
Joyce Haggerty Bell Insurance Group
LLC -- carry an additional $8 million in
errors-and-omissions insurance that
could be accessed by the county.
Griffith said he and other county of-
ficials do not believe those policies
comply with the county requirement
because the companies were not hired
by the county to provide insurance or
listed in documentation submitted to
the county at the time of the insurance
awards.
The following policies were awarded
through Eastern Insurance: fiduciary
liability, public defenders liability,
emergency dispatchers liability, law
enforcement liability, excess workers
compensation, public officials/employ-
ment practices liability, Keystone Job
Corps commercial property, children
and youth liability, group life insur-
ance/accidental death and dismem-
berment, lead abatement, contractors
pollution liability, medical stop loss
and general county insurance.
Commissioner Chairwoman Ma-
ryanne Petrilla said the policies had to
be renewed by the end of the year
because they are expiring. The policies
have one-year terms, she said.

WILKES-BARRE Anattorney facing
child corruption charges is allowed to
travel abroad to coach boys in soccer de-
spite a bail condition that he is not to
have unsupervised contact with minors.
Robert Zanicky, 38, a founding mem-
ber andofficer withUnitedSoccer Train-
ing Academy, was uneasy in his seat as
his lawyers and a prosecutor squared off
before Luzerne County Judge William
Amesbury on Friday.
Zanicky frequently grabbed his law-
yers, Ed Olexa and Bill Ruzzo, wanting
to whisper in their ears during the 30-
minute hearing.
Zanicky surren-
dered Wednesday on
two counts of corrup-
tion of minors filed by
Kingston Township
police that allege he
enticed two girls, 17
and 16, to have sex at
the Wilkes-Barre
Lodgemotel onKidder
Street.
The elder teen had consensual sex
with Zanicky while the younger girl ran
out of the motel room, according to
charges filed.
Police said they seized motel records
indicating Zanicky registered a roomon
Jan. 31 to Feb. 1 and Feb. 12 to Feb. 13.
At his arraignment on Wednesday,
Zanicky informed District Judge James
Tupper that he had a planned month-
long business trip to Ghana, Africa, to
coach boys in soccer. The trip is sched-
uledfor Jan. 6toFeb. 6. Tupper set a con-
dition of his $25,000 unsecured bail that
he was not to have unsupervised contact
with minors.
A representative from the District At-
torneys Office was not at the arraign-
ment to voice an objection to Zanicky
traveling to Africa. But Assistant Dis-
trict Attorney Jenny Roberts later filed a
motion to modify bail conditions im-
posed by Tupper.
During Fridays hearing, Roberts said
she would have asked the district judge
to prohibit Zanicky from traveling
abroad, claiming there is no way to mon-
itor Zanickys movements or actions in a
foreign country.
You want me to cancel his trip?
Amesbury asked.
Yes, thats exactly what Im asking,
Roberts replied.
Ruzzo said Zanicky had traveled to
Ghana in March and returned to the
United States knowing he was being in-
vestigated.
Philip Brogan, an officer with the soc-
cer academy, testified Zanickys respon-
sibilityinGhana is makingcontacts with
Ghana officials and families. Without
Zanicky in Ghana, Brogan claimed, the
coachingof hundreds of underprivileged
children 16 to 18 years old would be in
jeopardy.
Amesbury pondered his decision for
several minutes before making his rul-
ing, allowing Zanicky to go to Africa.
I share your concerns but were at the
most preliminary stages of this matter,
Amesbury said. There is a burden of in-
nocence.

Organizations seeking a share of
the $2.15 million fund established by
Robert Mericle to benefit Luzerne
County children will have to compete
for the money through a program run
by the Pennsylvania Commission on
Crime and Delinquency.
Mike Pennington, director of the
commissions Office of Juvenile Jus-
tice and Delinquency Prevention,
said details regarding the types of
organizations that may be eligible for
the funds and allowable uses for the
money have not yet been worked out.
He expects further details will be re-
leased within a few weeks.
The commission is a state agency
established to improve the criminal
justice system. Among its numerous
duties is to act as a
clearing house for grants
that fund criminal jus-
tice related projects.
Organizations seeking
any portion of the Mer-
icle fund will be re-
quired to submit an application,
which will be reviewed by a commit-
tee within the Office of Juvenile Jus-
tice and Delinquency Prevention.
The committee will then make a rec-
ommendation to the commissions
board, which makes the final deter-
mination.
Mericle, the regions largest real es-
tate developer, agreed to establish
the fund as part of his guilty plea in
September 2009 to charges related to
the Luzerne County juvenile justice
scandal.
Prosecutors say Mericle failed to
report his knowledge that former
judges Mark Ciavarella and Michael
Conahan had taken steps to conceal
the source of $1.8 million he had paid
them for helping him secure the con-
tracts to build the PA Child Care and
Western PA Child Care juvenile de-
tention centers.
U.S. District Judge Edwin Kosik on
Thursday issued an order directing
the money, which had been held in
an escrow account, be released to the
commission within five days.
Pennington said he expects a fund-
ing application announcement will be
issued within the next few weeks.
Applicants can then apply for the
money through the grant application
section of the commissions Website:
www.pccd.state.pa.us.

Kulicks wife seeks divorce
The wife of Luzerne County busi-
nessman Robert Kulick is seeking a
divorce.
Michele Mattioli-Kulick on Thursday
filed documents in Luzerne County
Court requesting to divorce Kulick, 63,
a one-time associate of reputed former
mob boss William DElia.
Kulick was convict-
ed of being a felon in
possession of a firearm
and was sentenced to
37 months in prison in
September 2009 but
was released after the
case was sent back for
re-sentencing in
March and U.S. Dis-
trict Judge James Munley altered his
sentence to time served.
During his March sentencing hear-
ing, Kulicks attorneys noted Kulick has
struggled with a lifelong alcohol prob-
lem but enrolled in a voluntary inten-
sive treatment program during his
incarceration. Kulick called his time in
prison life-changing and said he real-
ized how much he loved his sobriety.
In a supplemental filing requesting
that she maintain sole custody of their
Bear Creek Township home during
divorce proceedings, Mattioli-Kulick
alleges Kulick has resumed drinking
and he has been verbally abusive to his
wife and children.

DOC appointments made
The Pennsylvania Department of
Corrections announced Friday it has
appointed John Murray and David
Pitkins as regional deputy secretaries.
Murray will supervise the 10 state
correctional institutions in the central
region of Pennsylva-
nia, including SCI

tions officer to coun-
selor to unit and facil-
ity manager. In 2010, he was named
superintendent of SCI Camp Hill in
Cumberland County.
Pitkins will supervise nine institu-
tions in the western region of the state.
During his 23-year career, Pitkins
moved from chaplaincy program direc-
tor to deputy superintendent for cen-
tralized services and deputy superin-
tendent for facility management. In
2009, he was named superintendent of
SCI Laurel Highlands in Somerset

WILKES-BARRE The last
day of 2011.
You have dinner, go out to
celebrate the beginning of a
new year and maybe a new you.
There is a drink, and then
another.
Do you drive home? In addi-
tion to the inherent danger, it
can cost thousands for those ar-
rested while driving under the
influence.
Americans continue to drink
and drive. Alcohol-impaired
drivers make up about one-third
of motor vehicle deaths,
warned Jenny M. Robinson,
manager of the public and gov-
ernment affairs for AAA Mid-
Atlantic.
AAA Mid-Atlantic reports 444
alcohol-related highway fatali-
ties in Pennsylvania in 2010.
The Administrative Office of
Pennsylvania Courts says the
Luzerne County courts handled
about 900 DUI cases in 2009,
and 1,175 cases in 2010, which
are the most recent statistics
available.
According to court statistics,
in 2009, 733 people were en-
rolled in the Accelerated Reha-
bilitative Disposition Program.
The program allows a defend-
ant to have his or her record
expunged upon successful com-
pletion of probation.
Costs can range from $100 for
a blood-alcohol test by the
Pennsylvania State Police to
hundreds of dollars if a lawyer
is hired. In addition, auto insur-
ance carriers typically charge
higher premiums to those with
drunken driving records.
If a judge orders a defendant
to participate in a number of
programs, including the inter-
lock ignition system, defend-
ants will have even more to pay.
AAA Mid-Atlantic said in
2009, approximately 10,800 peo-
ple died in alcohol-related traf-
fic crashes nationwide. One-
third of those crashes killed a
passenger in another vehicle or
pedestrians.
A first-time DUI conviction in
Pennsylvania, if the ARD pro-
gram is not completed, can re-
sult in six to 12 months in jail
or more for repeat offenders.
A homicide by motor vehicle
charge can result in between
three and eight years in a state
prison, according to Pennsylva-
nia sentencing guidelines.
Drivers licenses can be re-
voked and posting bail can cost
upwards of $10,000.
New Years has a dark side drunken driving
The practice can be costly for
the perpetrator as well as for
the victims.

NEWYORKParents of
teens: If you think a drinking
disaster at your kids party cant
happen at your house, not with
your kid, because hes a good
kid, its time to wake up and
smell the whiskey bottle tossed
on your lawn.
Because of the high risk of
underage drinking and driving
this time of year, many parents
open their homes to partying
teens as a way to keep themoff
the roads. What some may not
knowis that liability laws can
leave Momand Dad vulnerable
to lawsuits, fines and even jail
time if underage drinking is
found to be going on under their
roof.
Parents can get in trouble
even if they didnt knowabout
the drinking.
Thats what a Menlo Park,
Calif., father says he is up
against.
Bill Burnett, a Stanford Uni-
versity professor, was arrested
the night after Thanksgiving
over a basement party thrown
by his 17-year-old son to cele-
brate a big high school football
win.
Burnett said he and his wife
had forbidden alcohol at the
party and were upstairs at the
time police received a call about
possible drinking by minors. In
fact, he said, he had twice made
his way to the basement to
check on the merry-making.
He spent a night in jail and
was booked on 44 counts of
suspicion of contributing to the
delinquency of a minor. Each
misdemeanor count carries up
to a $2,500 fine and nearly a
year in jail.
Burnett questioned the deter-
rent value of laws that hold
parents legally responsible even
if they didnt knowthere was
alcohol at the party.
In this case I think arresting
a parent isnt going to prevent
kids fromdrinking, he said on
the Today show.
Eight states have specific
social host laws that say par-
ents can get in trouble if under-
age guests are drinking, even if
no one gets hurt, according to
the National Institutes of
Health. (Some of those states
allowparents to serve alcohol to
their own children in some
situations.)

LONDONOscar-nominated
actress Helena Bonham Carter,
famed for playing quirky charac-
ters as well as British royalty,
joins a former prisoner, a reality
TVguruandseveral Olympics or-
ganizers on the list of people be-
ing awarded honors by Queen El-
izabeth II this New Year.
Bonham Carter missed out on
the best supportingactress Oscar
for her role as Queen Elizabeth,
the supportive wife of King Ge-
orge VI in The Kings Speech.
Her other major roles have in-
cludedcharacters infilms suchas
Planet of the Apes and Charlie
and the Chocolate Factory.
The queen, who is the daugh-
ter of King Ge-
orge VI and El-
izabeth, award-
ed Bonham
Carter a CBE,
short for Com-
manders of the
Order of the
British Empire.
Bonham Carter has said she is
dedicating the CBEto her late fa-
ther.
Businessman Gerald Ronson,
who was convicted in 1990 for a
share-trading scandal and served
six months of a one-year jail sen-
tence, was awarded a CBE for his
services to charity. Ronson
fought a long legal battle to clear
his name, and although the Eu-
ropean Court of Human Rights
later ruled his trial was unfair,
Britains highest appeal court
never overturned his conviction.
He now runs property company
HeronInternational andis a lead-
ing philanthropist.
Peter Bazalgette, who brought
the show Big Brother to the
U.K. and devised a string of
much-copied lifestyle and reality
shows, was made a knight. Pro-
fessor Geoffrey Hill, who has
been described as the greatest
living poet in the English lan-
guage, also became a knight.
Britains honors are bestowed
twice a year by the monarch at
New Years and on her official
birthday in June. Recipients are
selected by committees of civil
servants fromnominations made
by the government and the pub-
lic.
In descending order, the hon-
ors are knighthoods, CBE, OBE
an Officer of the Order of the
British Empire and MBE
Member of the Order of the Brit-
ish Empire. Knights are ad-
dressedas sir or dame. Recip-
ients of the other honors have no

Muslims boycott breakfast
Some religious leaders attending
Mayor Michael Bloombergs interfaith
breakfast Friday expressed solidarity
with Muslims upset about police de-
partment surveillance in their commu-
nities, while more than a dozen leaders
boycotted the yearly gathering that is
meant to be a showcase of tolerance.
The absence of 15 Muslim clerics
and civic leaders made little difference
to the size of a breakfast roster that
totaled more than 360, but it made
their concerns about police infiltration
of Muslim neighborhoods and mosques
a topic of conversation for many.
Some worried aloud about what the
surveillance meant for the privacy of
their own congregations, while others
dismissed the boycotters as agitators
who were missing the point of an event
meant to foster communication be-
tween religious communities and city
officials.
Bloomberg didnt directly address
the boycott during the event, though
he did quote his father as telling him
that discrimination against anyone is
discrimination against everyone.

Deputies probe turkey farm
North Carolina deputies are investi-
gating a farm that raises turkeys for
Butterball LLC after an animal rights
group said it captured undercover
video showing animal cruelty.
Investigators on Thursday looked
through the two barns and the roughly
2,000 turkeys inside at the farm in
Shannon, near the South Carolina state
line.
Deputies say it could be weeks be-
fore the investigation is finished.
They came to the farm after Chica-
go-based Mercy for Animals sent prose-
cutors three weeks of undercover foot-
age by a member of the group who
worked at the farm. The group says the
videos show workers throwing, kick-
ing, dragging and beating turkeys.

Afghan bombings kill 6
Two NATO service members died
Friday in roadside bombings in south-

figures and captured 11 fighters and
sympathizers, the alliance said.
Also Friday, a roadside bomb killed
four civilians and wounded one in the
Tirin Kot district of Uruzgan province,
some 250 miles southwest of Kabul,
the Interior Ministry said.
The continuing bloodshed comes
despite tentative efforts by the Obama
administration and other governments
to establish a peace process with the
Taliban to help end the 10-year war.

Arkansas woman missing
A police dispatcher for a gated com-

missing since before Christmas, but
investigators have been hesitant to
describe her as a victim of foul play
despite the discovery of her burned car
in a nearby forest.
Dawna Natzke, 46, of Hot Springs
Village was last seen at a Dec. 21
Christmas party and searchers on
horses and in a helicopter have been
unable to find her. The womans 28-
year-old boyfriend told investigators he
hasnt seen the woman since the night
of the party, but a missing persons
report wasnt filed until she failed to
show up for work at the police station
31 hours later, according to a timeline
provided by Hot Springs Village Police.

CAIRO Several Egyptian rights
groups on Friday accused the countrys
ruling military council of using repres-
sive tools of the deposed regime in
waging an unprecedented campaign
against pro-democracy organizations.
The groups joint statement came just
hours after security forces stormed of-
fices of 10 rights organizations, includ-
ing several based in the United States.
The Interior Ministry said the raids
were part of the investigation into for-
eign funding of rights groups.
The military, which took over control
after a popular uprising toppled long-
time President Hosni Mubarak in Feb-
ruary, has often accused the groups of
promoting protests with the help of
funds from abroad.
The raids drew an angry reaction
from U.S. Also, German officials sum-
monedtheEgyptianambassador inBer-
lin to complain about a raid on a Ger-
man organization in Cairo, and the U.N.
human rights office criticized Egypts
unnecessarily heavy-handed mea-
sures against the groups, calling on
Egypts rulers to allow them to carry
out their important work without un-
due interference.
Fridays statement, signed by 28
Egyptian rights groups, said the raids
were part of a clampdown against lead-
ers of the uprising and were an attempt
to liquidate the revolution.
The military council is using Muba-
raks authoritarian and repressive tools
... in an even more dangerous and uglier
way, the statement read. The raids are
an unprecedented campaign aimed at
covering up big failures of the military
council in managing the transition peri-
od.
In another raid Thursday, police ar-
rested a member of the April 6 group, a
youthmovement at the helmof the anti-
Mubarak protests. A security official
said hashish and about $4,000 were
found at Ahmed el-Salkawis house.
April 6was amongthe groups the mil-
itary had accused of receiving foreign
funds and using the money to promote
for a foreign agenda.

DES MOINES, Iowa With
time running short, Republican
presidential candidates Rick San-
torum, Rick Perry and Newt Gin-
grich battled Thursday to win
over a pivotal crop of undecided
conservative voters. Of all the
candidates, only Mitt Romney
seemed to largely escape attack
as he worked to win a state that
long seemed out of reach until
this week.
Dont settle for whats not
good enough to save the coun-
try, the newly ascendant Santo-
rum implored Iowans at city hall
in Coralville,
urging voters to
put conserva-
tive principles
above every-
thing else and
suggesting that
his rivals, and
specifically Ron
Paul, lacked
them.
For the first
time, though,
the former
Pennsylvania
senator became
a target.
When he
talks about fis-
cal conservatism, every now and
then it leaves me scratching my
head because he was a prolific
earmarker, Perry, the Texas gov-
ernor, said of Santorum as the
day began, referring to special
spending projects members of
Congress seek. He loaded up his
bill with Pennsylvania pork.
Perry also slapped at Santo-
rumin a radio ad and in a newTV
commercial that lumps him in
with Minnesota Rep. Michele
Bachmann, former House Speak-
er Newt Gingrich and Paul and
says: The fox guarding the hen-
house is like asking a congress-
man to fix Washington: bad
idea.
The maneuveringunderscored
the fluid if not convoluted
stateof theGOPpresidential race
as Tuesdays caucuses loom
while cultural conservatives and
evangelical Republicans, who
make up the base of the electo-
rate here, continue to be divided.
That lack of unity paves the way
for someone who is seen as less
consistently conservative.

BEIRUT In the largest
protests Syria has seen in
months, hundreds of thou-
sands of people took to the
streets Friday in a display of
defiance to show an Arab
League observer mission the
strength of the opposition
movement.
Despite the monitors pres-
ence in the country, activists
said Syrian forces loyal to
President Bashar Assad killed
at least 22 people, most of
themshot during the anti-gov-
ernment demonstrations.
In a further attempt to ap-
peal to the monitors, dissident
troops who have broken away
from the Syrian army said
they have halted attacks on re-
gime forces toreinforce the ac-
tivists contention that the up-
risingagainst Assadis a peace-
ful movement.
While opposition activists
are deeply skeptical of the ob-
server mission, the outpour-
ing of demonstrators across
Syria underscores their wish
to make their case to the for-
eign monitors and take advan-
tage of the small measure of
safety they feel they brought
with them.
The nearly100 Arab League
monitors are the first that Sy-
ria has allowed into the coun-
try during the uprising, which
began in March. They are sup-
posed to ensure the regime
complies with terms of the
Leagues plan to end Assads
crackdown on dissent. The
U.N. says morethan5,000peo-
ple have died as the govern-
ment has sought to crush the
revolt.

SANDIEGOU.S. troops are increas-
ingly using an easy-to-get herbal mix
calledSpice, whichmimics a marijuana
high, is hard to detect and can bring on
hallucinations that last for days.
The abuse of the substance has so
alarmed military officials that theyve
launched an aggressive testing program
that this year has led to the investigation
of more than 1,100 suspected users.
So-called synthetic pot is readily
available on the Internet and has become
popular nationwide in recent years, but
its use among troops and sailors has
raised concerns among the Pentagon
brass.
You can just imagine the work that we
do in a military environment, said Mark
Ridley, deputy director of the Naval
Criminal Investigative Service, adding,
you need to be in your right mind when
you do a job. Thats why the Navy has al-
ways takena zerotolerance policy toward
drugs.
Two years ago, only 29 Marines and
sailors were investigated for Spice. This
year, the number topped 700, the investi-
gative service said. Those found guilty of
using Spice are kicked out, although the
Navydoes not tracktheoverall number of
dismissals.

Ajury convicted Raymond Bel-

Alan Kelley told jurors Bella-
vance was a volatile man who
was quick to anger because his
former girlfriend was having a re-
lationship with the shops owner.
The Grand View Coffee Shop
in Vassalboro featured topless
waitresses. It burned down June
3, 2009.
The defense insists Bellavance
didnt do it.
Bellavance testified he wasnt
jealous. He said other people in-
cluding a man who testified he
helped set the fire were lying.
A witness who recently fin-
ished a drug rehabilitation pro-
gram testified last week that he
was present when Bellavance
poured and ignited gasoline be-
hind the coffee shop in the early
morning hours. Thomas Mulk-
ern said Bellavance then became
upset, telling him they could get
life in prison because there were
people inside the adjoining apart-
ments.
Crabtreeandsixothers, includ-
ing two infants, were sleeping in
a room connected to the coffee
shop. All escaped without injury.

SAN FRANCISCO Police
are investigating the brazen theft
of a beloved squirrel monkey
named Banana Sam from the
San Francisco Zoo.
The 17-year-old primate was
stolen late Thursday, and investi-
gators believe someone stole the
animal, San Francisco police Sgt.
Michael Andraychak said. The
zoo is offering a $1,000 reward
for Banana Sams sage return.
It was apparent someone
broke into the zoo and deliber-
ately took the animal, we believe
somebody has him, Andraychak
said.
Zoo officials discovered Ba-
nana Sam missing when they ar-
rived at work Friday morning.
The monkey is about a foot tall
and weighs approximately two
pounds.
The zoo said the
thieves cut a back
perimeter gate and
made it to the top of
a roof that houses
five other primate
exhibits. The van-
dals cut two holes
into the mesh of the
squirrel monkey ex-
hibit and snatched
Banana Sam.
The zoo, which
keeps about 20
squirrel monkeys, said it is con-
cerned on many fronts.
First, Banana Sam requires a
special diet to survive and is ol-
der. Also, while squirrel mon-
keys are not large animals, they
have sharp teeth and will bite if
provoked.
This was a criminal act of
vandalism and trespassing and
we are working with the police
to identify the perpe-
trators, said Tanya Pe-
terson, president and
executive director of
the San Francisco Zoo-
logical Society.
Common squirrel
monkeys like Banana
Sam are not endan-
gered, and are often
seen in pet markets
and medical research.
While some states al-
low keeping monkeys
as pets, in California it is illegal.
News of the stolen monkey
spread quickly on the Internet
Friday, and someone set up a
fake Twitter account (http://
bit.ly/tmH6LN ) tracking the al-
leged whereabouts of Banana
Sam.
The zoo said it was not in-
volved with the account, and
would not comment on it.

LOS ANGELES British ac-
tor-comedian Russell Brand is di-
vorcing California Gurls song-
stress Katy Perry after 14 months
of what hadappearedto be one of
Hollywoods happier marriages.
Sadly, Katy and I are ending
our marriage, Brand said in a
statement to The Associated
Press on Friday. Ill always adore
her and I know well remain
friends.
Brand, 36, offered no other de-
tails, but in papers filed Friday in
Los Angeles Superior Court, he
cited irreconcilable differences.
He and the 27-year-old pop
singer were married in October
2010 at a resort inside a tiger re-
serve in India, and their mutual
affection had become a rather
sweet feature of the celebrity cir-
cuit.
The couple announced their
engagement inJanuary2010after
meeting at the 2009 MTV Video
MusicAwards, whereBrandhost-
ed and she performed.
The comedian, who once
struggled with substance abuse
and sex addiction, was effusive
about his bride while promoting
projects earlier this year, saying
marrying Perry has given me
much more strength in what I
do.
For alongwhile, what I dopro-
fessionally was all that mattered
to me really, he said in March.
NowI think, well, whatever I do,
Ill just go back to her, and thats
incredibly comforting.
Perry praised her husband
backstage at the 2011 VMAs in
August, where she won three
awards andhe offereda tribute to
Amy Winehouse.
Im proud of him, whatever
comes out of his mouth, and
sometimes its very colorful,
right? Perry said of Brand.
Thats why I married him, be-
causehes smart andI learnalot.
Attorneys for Perry, whose
name is listed as Katheryn Eliza-
beth Hudson in the divorce pa-
pers, did not respond Friday to
calls seeking comment.
The Internet had been abuzz
recentlywithrumors about possi-
ble trouble for the couple after
they were seen during the holi-
days without their wedding
rings.
Perrys run of No. 1 singles
earned her the distinction of be-
coming MTVs first artist of the
year earlier this month. She host-
ed Saturday Night Live on Dec.
10 and gave no indication any
marital woes.
Brands recent film credits in-
clude Arthur, Hop and Get
Him to the Greek. He is among
the ensemble starring alongside
TomCruise inRockof Ages, set
for release next year.
Both Brand and Perry were ab-
sent Friday from Twitter, where
they often shared kind words for
each other.

PITTSBURGH The sister
of Pennsylvania Supreme Court
Justice Joan Orie Melvin has
been ordered to stand trial on
charges she directed state-paid
staffers to illegally do campaign
work for Melvin while the justice
was a judge on a lower appellate
court.
Janine Orie, 57, will stand trial
in February along with a third
sister, Pittsburgh-area Republi-
can state Sen. Jane Orie.
The newcharges will be added
to a retrial scheduled for Febru-
ary for Jane and Janine Orie on
charges that they similarly di-
rected the senators state-funded
staff to do campaign work bene-
fiting the senator and Melvin
over the last decade. That trial
will also include 16 newer charg-
es against the senator, including
perjury and forgery. Allegheny
County prosecutors contend
some of Sen. Ories testimony
was false and some of the docu-
ments she submitted were forg-
eries during the sisters first trial,
which ended in a mistrial in
March when a judge agreed that
one document used to undercut
the key witness, Sen. Ories for-
mer chief of staff, was a cut-and-
pasted forgery.
Melvin has not been charged
with a crime in connection with
either set of charges against her
sisters.
Janine Orie did not comment
after Thursdays preliminary
hearing, nor did J. Alan Johnson,
a former federal prosecutor who
attended the hearing as Melvins
attorney.
Janine Ories attorney, James
DePasquale, argued during the
hearing that any campaign work
Janine Orie may have done or di-
rected Melvins Superior Court
law clerks and other staff to do
was minimal.
I dont know how anyone can
spend a whole day doing cam-
paign work and still get their ju-
dicial work done, DePasquale
said. That makes no sense to
me.
Much of the testimony at
Thursdays three-hour prelimina-
ry hearing involved Melvins un-
successful 2003 bid for a Su-
preme Court seat against Justice
Max Baer, who remains on the
court and who now employs as a
law clerk Lisa Sasinoski, a key
witness against Janine Orie. Sa-
sinoski, the wife of Allegheny
County Common Pleas Judge
Kevin Sasinoski, told investiga-
tors that she left Melvins staff in
December 2003 after she balked
at doing some political work at
Janine Ories behest.
On Thursday, Sasinoski and
other staff detailed such work,
including working polls, travel-
ing with Melvin to campaign
events across the state and writ-
ing speeches.

December 29, 2011
WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama ended one war
and is winding down another,
bringing home tens of thousands
of U.S. troops. Now he wants
them to pay him back with
votes.
You stood up for America.
America needs to stand up for
you, Obama told service mem-
bers returning to Fort Bragg,
N.C. from Iraq recently.
Expect to hear that pitch
throughout the next year as the
presidents campaign, mindful
that large numbers of veterans
and military families live in
states crucial to his re-election
chances, highlights his efforts to
promote jobs andbenefits for vet-
erans returning fromIraq and Af-
ghanistan. Republicans, mean-
while, already are countering his
record, noting high unemploy-
ment among veterans.
The outreach to veterans is
part of a larger effort byObama to
build inroads with voting blocs
traditionally outside the Demo-
cratic umbrella while it tries to
reactivate the coalition of wom-
en, minorities and young voters
who helped propel him to the
White House in 2008. Obamas
campaign is free to focus on
buildinga diverse base of support
for the general election because
he faces no primary opponent.
His eventual GOP challenger
doesnt have that luxury.
While Democrats have tradi-
tionally trailed Republicans on
defense and national security
matters, Obama senses an open-
ing with veterans because he has
generally received high marks
from voters for his handling of
terrorism especially after the
U.S. raid in May that killed Osa-
ma bin Laden and in manag-
ing the U.S.s relationships with
other countries. Arecent AP-GfK
poll found that 59 percent of
adults felt Obama would keep
America safe, a mark that has re-
mained steady throughout 2011.
Exit polls in 2008 showed that
Obama received about 44 per-
cent of voters who said they
served in the military, while 54
percent voted for Republican
John McCain, a former Navy pi-
lot who was a prisoner of war for
more than five years during the
Vietnam War. Four years earlier,
George W. Bush, who sought re-
electionas the U.S. wagedwars in
IraqandAfghanistan, won57per-
cent of voters who said they
served in the military, compared
with 41 percent for Democrat
John Kerry.
There are obvious political rea-
sons for Obamas effort.
Several states that will be heav-
ily contested next year have a sig-
nificant military presence. Flor-
ida, home to a number of military
installations, has more than 1.6
million veterans, according to
the Department of Veterans Af-
fairs. Virginia and North Caroli-
na, political battlegrounds that
Obama carried in 2008, both
have about 800,000 veterans
while Colorado, another impor-
tant state in the Obama re-elec-
tion calculation, has more than

This year, the playing field in
the fight to woo veterans may
endupbeinglevel if anyone other
than Texas Gov. Rick Perry and
Texas Rep. Ron Paul the only
two with military experience in
the GOP field win the nomi-
nation. Obama had no military
experience before becoming
commander in chief. (The last
time both parties didnt have a
presidential candidate with mili-
tary experience was 1944, when
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
defeated Thomas E. Dewey.)
Bob Wallace, executive direc-
tor of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars, said Obama has been very
positive for veterans.

DES MOINES, Iowa For-
mer House Speaker Newt Gin-
grich wept Friday as he recalled
his late mothers end-of-life ill-
nesses, a moment of poignancy
in a notably negative Republican
presidential Iowa caucus cam-
paign with four unpredictable
days yet to run.
I do policy much easier than I
do personal, Gingrich told an
audience of women as he tried to
regain his composure. The tears
flowed as the former speaker
was responding to questions
about his mother from a pollster
and longtime political ally.
Gingrichs emotional moment
came as his rivals engaged in tra-
ditional campaign tactics, and as
polls suggested large numbers of
Iowa Republicans could change
their minds before caucuses
Tuesday night provide the first
test of the 2012 campaign.
Former Massachusetts Gov.
Mitt Romney sought to margin-
alize his closest pursuer in most
polls, saying, I dont think Ron
Paul represents the mainstream
of Republican thought with re-
gards to issues, particularly in
foreign policy.
Paul gave no ground. I really
cant conceive of intervening
militarily to prevent Iran from
acquiring nuclear weapons, he
said, unequivocally restating his
position on an issue on which he
differs with Romney and his oth-
er rivals.
Former Pennsylvania Sen.
Rick Santorum, claiming mo-
mentum based on recent polls,
told reporters he recently had
the best fundraising day of his
candidacy. Yet he also drew crit-
icism from Texas Gov. Rick Per-
ry for advocating earmarks dur-
ing two terms in the Senate.
Minnesota Rep. Michele Bach-
mann became the latest presi-
dential hopeful to hold a cam-
paign event with Iowa Rep. Steve
King and the latest to hear
him say he wasnt ready to give
his endorsement.
Whatever the impact of Gin-
grichs tears on the race for the
White House, the episode
seemed destined to be replayed
endlessly on televisions, person-
al computers and hand-held de-
vices.
That was the case nearly four
years ago, when Hillary Rodham
Clinton appeared to choke back
tears while campaigning in New
Hampshire a few days before the
states Democratic presidential
primary. The episode also be-
came the subject of intense polit-
ical analysis. Clinton won the
primary in an upset a few days
later.
Gingrich was surging in the
polls a little more than a week
ago, but was hit by a barrage of
negative ads and has been strug-
gling in recent days. Normally a
combative politician, he shed
tears as he appeared before a
group of mothers and responded
to a question fromFrank Luntz, a
Republican pollster and long-
time ally of the former speaker.
Asked about his mother and
an event in his life that influen-
ced his policies and views, Gin-
grich recalled her as happy and
having friends before she ended
up in a long-termcare facility suf-
fering from bipolar disease, de-
pression and physical ailments.
My whole emphasis on brain
science comes in directly from
dealing with the real problems of
real people, he said, his face dis-
torting as he began to cry. Rom-
ney, who leads in most polls in
Iowa, criticized Paul in an inter-
view with Fox News Channel.
I dont think Ron Paul repre-
sents the mainstream of Repub-
lican thought with regards to is-
sues, particularly in foreign pol-
icy, he said, referring to the Tex-
ans statement that he would
oppose military action to pre-
vent Iran from acquiring nuclear
weapons.

the Wilkes-Barre General Hospital
following a brief illness.
Funeral services and arrange-
ments are pending from the John

Barre. Complete obituary details

Rick Santorum
The Republican presidential candidate and former
U.S. senator from Pennsylvania seems to be
creating a buzz among Iowas conservative voters
heading into that states presidential caucuses on
Tuesday.
Use of red light cameras
hikes revenue, not safety
I
am asking for your help to ban photo
traffic enforcement in Pennsylvania. As a
motorist, you know how important road
safety is when exercising your inalienable
right to freedom of travel.
Photo enforcement exists to raise reve-
nue. Money, not safety, is the goal. It caus-
es more crashes, injuries and fatalities.
In the Pennsylvania Legislature, there
are bills to spread red light ticket cameras
throughout the commonwealth, and to
renew Philadelphias failed red light ticket
camera fiasco.
Please write, fax, email and call your
senator, representative and all members of
the House and Senate Transportation
committees. Remind them that cameras
cause more crashes, injuries and fatalities,
and demand a permanent, statewide ban
on red light ticket cameras.
HB1232 might be up for a vote in Janu-
ary. Tell them to vote it down.
The life you save might be your own.

Driver sees little sense
in teen-driving limits
T
he new teen-driving laws in Pennsylva-
nia are unfair and not as efficient as
some people would think. The number
of teen drivers involved in crashes is high,
I will admit; but there should not be a
restriction on all teen drivers, only on
those who violate laws and previously have
been given tickets.
Since the number of passengers allowed
in the car is being lowered, more people
are forced to drive. This is a waste of gas
when we are already in an environmental
crisis. It is up to parents to make sure their
children are smart and aware enough to be
on the road by themselves or with other
people.
Instead of having a law dictating that for
six months teens cannot have more than
one passenger in the car, it should be re-
duced to three months when the pres-
sure is at its highest. After about three
months, teens become more comfortable
driving and more aware of everything
around them.
Another problem is the amount of driv-
ing needed during the learners permit
period. The driving centers do not fully
check how many hours a student has dri-
ven on highways, in bad weather or at
night. They simply give the learner a
book to keep track of their hours, and
when the time comes for a license test, a
paper must be signed by a parent saying
the 50 hours (now 60) were completed by
the individual.
These laws are unnecessary and not well
thought out. The people writing these
laws should have come to educated teen-
age drivers who have no record of crashes
or violations to see what affects teen driv-
ers the most and how to best approach this
issue. If intelligent teenagers had a say in
government, there would be much better
insight into how we operate.

A HANDFUL of protesters
near the Fort Worth Conven-
tion Center caught my eye
on a Saturday afternoon as I
was leaving downtown.
At first I thought they
might be a contingent of the
Occupy group, but the busy hand-held
signs didnt say anything about 99 percent
as I had seen at other demonstrations.
Curious, I moved closer to get a better
view and saw that the signs were about Phila-
delphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick.
One said that Vick had killed his kids pets;
another proclaimed, I rescued Vicks dog.
It was then that I realized that across the
street the Eagles football team was boarding
buses to be escorted to Cowboys Stadium for
a game.
The demonstrators, of course, had a right
to exercise their freedom of speech, but isnt
it time to leave the man alone and let him get
on with his life and career?
Vick, who was an outstanding player with
the Atlanta Falcons, pleaded guilty in 2007 to
running a dog-fighting ring. He served 19
months in a federal prison, lost his job and
filed for bankruptcy, but also joined with the
Humane Society in fighting cruelty to ani-
mals.
He then fought hard to reclaim a career in
football.
The man did everything society required of
him and more, and yet its not good enough
for some people.
I posted a thought about the recent down-
town protest on my Facebook page and
quickly began to hear from people who share
my opinion. Some examples:
Kenneth McDonald: He did jail time for
his mistakes. Move on people!
Charlene Ford: Amazing how people are
so critical of the wrong of others. Forgetting
bad things are done by the best of us. How
many of them are without faults? Beginning
with their inability to forgive.
Randy Bacon: These are the same people
who wouldnt think twice about taking your
life. PEOPLE, these were dogs. He did more
time than most people do for murdering a
human.
But a few plainly did not agree, as these
two writers demonstrate:
Jason C.N. Smith: I disagree, Bob Ray. We
should remember what Mike Vick cruelly did
to dogs and not excuse it merely because he
is a celebrity. There are many better causes
and personalities that are much more deserv-
ing of your voice than Vick.
Julie Porter: I have to disagree. I dont
care if he did jail time he was never sorry.
He was only sorry he was caught. Then he
slipped back into his well-paying position.
The people who need to re-evaluate their
thinking are those who think that the passage
of time undoes this behavior. He is still a
sociopath capable of unspeakable acts against
people as well as animals.
Since were still talking about this more
than four years after Vicks conviction, its
obvious that this debate is not going to end
anytime soon.
As many of you know, Ive consistently
advocated that once individuals have served
their time for a crime regardless of its na-
ture they should be allowed to move on
with their lives.
I felt a little better about the Eagles short
visit to Fort Worth when I noticed on the
teams website a photo of a raucous but
friendly crowd who greeted the players on
their arrival to the hotel.
Also, as I sat down to watch the match
between the Eagles and Cowboys, I was
hoping that Vick would have a good game.
I was not disappointed.

WOMANS constitu-
tional right to have an
abortion has been un-
der siege nationwide,
including in Pennsylvania,
where the Legislature recently
approved a bill that is likely to
shut down abortion providers
(at least temporarily) byrequir-
ing them to make expensive
and unnecessary renovations.
That context makes a recent
state Supreme Court ruling
more significant.
For once, the state abortion
law hasnt been made irrele-
vant. In a 6-1 majority opinion
written by Justice Max Baer,
the plain wording of the 1982
law has been reaffirmed by
overruling decisions by an Al-
legheny County judge, then an
affirming Superior Court.
The law allows a female un-
der 18 to have an abortion even
if both parents or guardians
dont agree, or if she elects not
to seek their consent.
In the second option, the law
contains no language penaliz-
ing a teen for wishing to keep
her pregnancy secret; on the
contrary, it outlines a legal way
to do this, reflecting the real-
life fact that some young wom-
en have abusive parents. Under
the law, the only issue for the
court is whether the young
woman is mature and capable
of giving informed consent
and has given such consent.
The woman, Jane Doe for the
purposes of this case, was a
highschool senior withaverage
grades who planned to attend
college and was just three
months shyof her18thbirthday
when she sought an abortion.
Jane Does application was
denied on the grounds that she
was not mature and capable of
giving consent andit was not in
her best interests. When her
counsel asked about the denial,
the judge replied that partly it
was her failure to inform her
mother of the intended abor-
tion which, of course, the law
explicitly permits.
It was thejudges objectionto
secrecy that properly led the
Supreme Court to reverse the
lower courts. The abortion law
is back to what it was for now.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
OTHER OPINION: ABORTION
Plain wording
of law reaffirmed
A
BILL UNDER con-
sideration in Harris-
burg would give
more of the states ex-
offenders a clean slate and a
needed second chance to be-
come productive citizens.
Expected to be brought to a
vote early next year, the bill
would allow records of convic-
tions for low-level offenses
such as shoplifting, check
fraud, drug posses-
sion and other nonvi-
olent misdemeanors
to be expunged.
The measure
would allow a judge
to expunge records
of third-degree con-
victions for those
whohavegonearrest-freefor at
least seven years. Second-de-
gree offenses committed by
those under 25 could be ex-
punged after 10 years without
an arrest. While some advo-
cates want lawmakers to go
further by removing that age
restriction a potential weak-
ness in the bill it would still
be a welcome and significant
step in the right direction.
Under current law, criminal
convictions can generally be
expunged only once a person
reaches the age of 70 and has
not beenarrestedfor at least 10
years. Convictions for minor
crimes can therefore attach to
law-abiding ex-offenders for
decades, like scarlet letters.
Such virtually permanent
blemishes can make it nearly
impossible for people to find
jobs, enroll in college or join
the military. And that can en-
courage a cycle of repeat of-
fenses, trapping people in a
criminal justice system that
never marks their debt to so-
ciety as paid in full.
Merciful measures like this
are particularly
justified given the
alarming propor-
tion of Americans
who are encoun-
tering the justice
system at a young
age. One recent
study found that
almost a third of Americans
have been arrested for some-
thing other than a minor traffic
violation by the age of 23.
The study, basedondata col-
lected by the federal govern-
ments National Longitudinal
Survey of Youth, found that ar-
rests commonly occurred in
late adolescence and early
adulthood, and then became
less likely as the youths sur-
veyed entered their 20s. That
helps make the case for giving
another chance to people who
made mistakes but have avoid-
ed subsequent brushes with
the law.

Wetzel saidhe was not nervous
about serving because he had
been a lawyer for many years and
handlednearlyeverytypeof case.
Wetzel was assigned 300 civil
cases regarding a gas spill in the
Hazleton area, 298 of which he
says he helped settle in his first
six months in office.
Wetzel said he was grateful for
the help of senior judges.
You felt so dumb each time
youdaska question, Wetzel said
of his first few months in office.
(Senior Judge Joseph) Augello
told me there are no dumb ques-
tions just make the call.
Van Jura said he settled 69 civil
cases in his first year as a judge
and about that many in 2011.
If you think about it, thats a
lot of cases that dont have to go
to trial, Van Jura said. And then

said he would advocate, demand
and make requests for his clients

said the black robe he wore was a
symbol to the public and a re-
minder to himself that a judge
has no stake in any case, no pol-
icy, no sides and strictly must fol-
low the law.
(My time as a judge) raced
by, Cosgrove said.
His first day on the job, Cos-
grove said he was assigned 100
civil trials.
HowamI goingtofinishthose
cases when I only had 100 weeks
on the bench? Cosgrove won-
dered at the time.
Becoming a judge, Wetzel said,
felt like when he first got out of
law school.
Theres a lot of on-the-job
training, he said.
Conahan were hit with corrup-
tion charges.
It was a wonderful experience
because you were put in there
with great expectations and you
knew you had to work hard to
meet them, Van Jura said. So
you went way beyond the extra
mile.
As an attorney who largely
practiced criminal defense, Cos-
grove said he quickly realized the
role of a judge is vastly different
from any other area of law.
The responsibility (of a
judge) is something I may not
have appreciated, Cosgrove
said.
As a private attorney, Cosgrove
Wetzel, a 1965
graduate of
Lafayette Col-
lege, received
his law degree
from Dickinson
School of Law
in 1968. He is a
partner in the law firm of Wetzel,
Caverly, Shea, Phillips and Rodg-
ers in Wilkes-Barre. He has exten-
sive experience in various areas,
including civil, criminal and real
estate matters.
Van Jura is a
1968 graduate
of Kings Col-
lege. He re-
ceived his law
degree from the
University of
Notre Dame in
1970 and was admitted to the bar
in 1972. He was a sole practitioner
with a law office in Forty Fort. His
practice was primarily focused in
civil litigation. He had also served
as solicitor for the Hanover Area
School Board.
Cosgrove has
been in private
law practice
since 1982 and
previously
served as a
Superior Court
law clerk and
Luzerne County assistant public
defender and conflict counsel. He
has also been an adjunct faculty
member at Kings College in
Wilkes-Barre, teaching constitu-
tional law and civil rights. Cos-
grove has a bachelors degree in
government and international
studies, a masters degree in
theology and a law degree - all
from the University of Notre
Dame.
something else.
Van Jura boasted about having
opinions hes written published
in legal works, and appearing in
opinions of higher court judges.
Its really a privilege and an
honor, Van Jura said. I did my
level best to make every positive
contribution I could.
Cosgrove is most proud of sug-
gesting and initiating a mortgage
foreclosure mediation program.
Its the most successful pro-
gram (of its kind) in the state,
Cosgrove said, adding that more
than half the homes enrolled in
the program have been saved.
Judges who preside over the
foreclosure program only act as
referees, bringing together the
banks and borrowers to resolve
issues on their own without a
judges ruling.
It can be done because weve
done it. Hopefully, it will contin-
ue. It saves lives and families,
Cosgrove said.
Cosgrove also said he is proud
of the progress Luzerne County
Treatment Court has made and
hopes the court can establish a
veterans court to assist those
who have served the United
States in uniform.
Wetzel mirrored Cosgroves
sentiments about the mortgage
foreclosure program, and said be-
ing part of the countys Treat-
ment Court was a moving and
wonderful experience.

She was trying to close an apart-
ment window in January 2008,
when she fell 30 feet onto pave-
ment, sufferinga brokenpelvis and
head trauma. Medical expenses
and therapy quickly drained her
bank account.
With nowhere to go, she showed
up at Ruths Place, a shelter for sin-
gle women, which, at the time, was
locatedinthe basement of the First
United Methodist Church on
North Main Street in Wilkes-Barre.
Looking back, she admits she
was scared but glad to have had a
place to stay.
At this time, the shelter was on-
ly open at nights, she said. So I
was onthe street for12hours a day,
every day.
Pimental soon learned of pro-
grams and resources available
through the Commission on Eco-
nomic Opportunity in Wilkes-
Barre to help her get back on her
feet.
She also learned there was hous-
ing assistance if she
could prove she was
homeless for a year or
chronically homeless,
meaning homeless three
or four times within a
four-year period.
But she needed docu-
mentation from the shel-
ter to prove her status.
Shelters provide the
resources youneedtoget
back on your feet again,
Pimental said. "But peo-
ple are afraid to go there;
they couch surf with family and
friends instead. This is just awayto
procrastinate.
Popolski said she is aware many
women crash on sofas and prolong
their homeless status. She encour-
ages themto contact Ruths Place.
It takes a lot of courage for a
woman to call, she said.
With an independent spirit, in-
ner strength and love for her son
fuelingher, Pimental decidedtoen-
dure being homeless for a year.
Days blended together. She
showered at the REACH facilities
in St. Stephens Episcopal Church
onSouthFranklinStreet, atemeals
at St. Vincent dePaul Kitchenthree
blocks away andpassedtime at the
Anthracite Newstand on Public
SquareandinthenearbyOsterhout
Free Library until the doors of
Ruths Place opened at 7 p.m.
She drew strength from phone
calls to her son, now age 10, who
lives with his father.
Pride and ambition are the first
to go when you are homeless, she
said.
By her eighth month, Pi-
mental wasalmost readyto
give up. At this time, she
wascitedbyaWilkes-Barre
police officer for urinating
behind a Dumpster.
I remember, it was a
Sunday, and downtown
businesses were closed,
Ruths Place did not open
until 7 p.m., and I really
hadtogotothebathroom,
she said. I was really sar-
castic to the officer.
Perseverance pays off
In March 2009, Pimental re-
ceived the welcome news: she was
approved for funding for an apart-
ment.
Bettye Lou Bovolick, co-owner
of the Anthracite Newstand, re-
members Pimental well.
My son, Rob, helped her find
her first apartment, she said. We
also donated some items to help
her get the apartment set up.
Today, Pimental volunteers six
hours a weekonDRockRadio.com,
an Internet radio station. She does
not get paid, but it doesallowher to
rebuild her skills. She also remains
active with Ruths Place and their
annual walk-a-thon.
I want toreturntoradiotowork,
but cannot,Pimental said. I suffer
from seizures. I cant have one
while on the air.
Pimental isgrateful fortheassist-
ance she received, but she saidsuc-
cess for her means livingindepend-
ently on her own, without assist-
ance.
To do that, she has set a goal to
become a national spokesperson
on homelessness. She is eager to
share her story with whoever will
listen to shed light on the newface
of the homeless.
Some people are born with a
safety net, and some are not, she
said. There are 17 million U.S.
middle-class families currently us-
ing Medicaid.
For some, it could be an unex-
pected medical expense, a missed
paycheck, a necessary vehicle re-
pair, that could push them into
homelessness, Pimental said.
More need, more help
Based on what she sees in her
store, Bovolick estimates the
homeless population in Wilkes-
Barre has grown.
I was approached by a young
girl, maybe about 20, just today,
lookingforaplacetostay,shesaid.
I directed her to Ruths Place.
Withinthe past twoyears, Ruths
Place has moved to a permanent
homeofferinga30-dayprogramfor
women, Popolick said.
"We are different from when Pi-
mental stayed with us," Popolski
said. "We are nowanall day facility
where the women have a support
systemand a very structured day."
Pimental said one thing anyone
candotohelpisdonatetofoodpan-
tries and other types of social ser-
vices.
As she knows from experience,
help is needed year round, not just
during the holiday season.

DALLAS -- Having now
passed 50 days since Joe Pater-
no was fired, its hard to tell if
less is known about the old
coach or a new one.
Penn State acting athletic di-
rector Dave Joyner said Thurs-
day that the in-
terview proc-
ess is still on-
going and, as
always, played
things close to
the vest.
On Friday,
however, a lit-
tle more light
was shed on
Paterno and
his health.
A week after
his 85th birth-
day, the de-
posed coach continues to battle
lung cancer and is back in his
State College home after a re-
cent hospital stay for an injured
pelvis.
Most updates have come
through his son, quarterbacks
coach Jay Paterno, though they
have been very brief. But this
time, Jay Paterno went into
more detail about howhis father
and family have been handling
the maelstromthat has engulfed
them.
Hes doing well, hes doing
very, very well, Jay Paterno
said. For his birthday, we had
all 17 of his grandkids there. It

DALLAS -- For Penn State, a
feeling of normalcy these days
means dealing with chaos at
quarterback.
Rob Bolden is in line to start
Mondays TicketCity Bowl
matchup
against Hous-
ton, but Matt
McGloin is
making a late
charge to be
available for
the game.
Surely the
Nittany Lions
couldnt finish off the 2011
season without one last ques-
tion mark under center.
Both interim coach Tom
Bradley and quarterbacks
coach Jay Paterno said Friday
they expect Bolden to get the
starting nod. McGloin contin-
ues to work his way back from
a blow to the head that caused
a seizure during an altercation
with wideout Curtis Drake two
weeks ago.

For the 2011-12 campaign, that competition
seems to be with Lake-Lehmans Austin Harry and

Inthe 2010-11season, Schutz got the best of Har-

Championships. So far this season, Harry, a sopho-

That includes Fridays 4-3 decision in the 132-

WILKES-BARRE Since its inception,
the Wyoming Valley West ice hockey pro-
gram has been consistent in its approach
talented individuals, net-front presence,
quality wins. Much to their dismay, no tro-
phies existed to prove the Spartans pro-
gression towards the elites of Northeast
Pennsylvania hockey.
Wyoming Valley West removed the pro-
verbial monkey off its back with a 6-3 victo-
ry over Crestwood on Friday to claim the
Casey Classic championship in front of a
standing-room only crowd at Coal Street.
Our program never won any hardware,
Wyoming Valley West coach Jason Powell
said. Weve got a lot a wins. Weve done
pretty well historically. But theres always
been a lot of intangibles thats really come
down to not completing jobs.
Defying the Comets 6-0 record and No. 1
ranking coming into the tournament, Po-
well enlisted an aggressive approach early
in the game that forced Crestwood to play
from behind. The Spartans Troy Malia reg-
istered a hard check into the boards, yield-
ing the puck to teammate Mark Paddock.
Paddock dished the puck to C.J. Yakinow-
icz, who hammered in the first score at the
15:30 mark in the first period.
Crestwood hasnt been losing this year
at all, Powell said. Our goal was naked ag-
gressioninthe first fewminutes. If we could
make themplay frombehind, I felt their sys-
tem and their discipline would go out the
window. If we could maintain our energy
from there on out, wed be set.
The Spartan defense forced several puck-
handling errors by Crestwood, which main-
tained possession throughout much of the
first two periods but failed to develop clear
shots on goal. Wyoming Valley West goal-
keeper Colin Piatt stopped 28 shots to earn
the win.

NEW YORK Chas Dodd hit
Brandon Coleman for an 86-yard
touchdownpass late inthe fourth
quarter and Jawan Jamison ran
for two scores to lead Rutgers
over Iowa State 27-13 in the Pin-
stripe Bowl on Friday.
The Scarlet Knights (9-4) ran
their bowl winning streak to five
and improved to 2-0 this season
at Yankee Stadium, where they
beat Army last
month. Rutgers,
which played in
one bowl game
before 2005, is
5-1 in the post-
season under
coach Greg
Schiano.
The Cyclones
(6-7) finished
the season on a
three-game los-
ing streak, their
last win coming on Nov. 18 in
Ames, Iowa, when they pulled off
the biggest upset of the season
against Oklahoma State.
That night JaredBarnett threw
for 376yards. Inthis game, Steele
Jantz relieved Barnett in the sec-
ond quarter and helped pull the
Cyclones within 20-13 in the
fourth on Jeff Woodys 20-yard
touchdown run with 10:00 left.
After an exchange of punts left
Rutgers deep in its own end,
Dodd went deep to Coleman.
The 6-foot-6 redshirt freshman
went over 5-7 cornerback Jeremy
Reeves, then outran the corner to
the end zone to make it 27-13
with 5:47 left.
It was Colemans only catch,
but it turned out to be the play of
the game.
Jamison, another redshirt
freshman giving Rutgers fans
hope for more bowls to come, fin-
ished with 134 yards on 27 car-
ries.
The Scarlet Knights missed
the postseason last year for the
first time since 2004, but re-
bounded this season to challenge
for the Big East title behind a de-
fense that came in ranked14th in
the nation.
There was also some inspira-
tion from a fallen former team-
mate.

Ballard ran for a career-high 180
yards and two touchdowns to
lead Mississippi State over Wake
Forest 23-17 Friday night in the
Music City Bowl the Bulldogs
fifth straight
bowl victoryand
second consecu-
tive under coach
Dan Mullen.
The Bulldogs
(7-6) capped a
season that
started with
high expecta-
tions hurt by
losses to South-
eastern Confer-
ence teams ei-
ther ranked at
the time or go-
ing into bowl
season by winning consecutive
bowls for only the second time
and first since 1999-2000.
Ballards TDs were the longest
in the Bulldogs 14 bowl games.
Mississippi State overcame four
turnovers thanks to six sacks
its highest total since piling up
seven in a win over Florida in
2000.
Wake Forest (6-7) snapped a
two-game bowl winning streak.
The Demon Deacons of the At-
lantic Coast Conference now
have lost both bowls against the
SECand finish the season having
lost five of their last six games.
Chris Relf started for the Bull-
dogs and played the whole game
with Tyler Russell limited by a
sprained knee. Relf ran for 64
yards and threwfor129 yards and
a TD with two interceptions.
The Demon Deacons, who
held the ball for more than 35
minutes, tried to rally.
They converted two fourth
downs before Brandon Maye
sacked Tanner Price for the sixth
time, forcing Wake Forest to kick
a 46-yard field goal to pull within
23-17 with 3:27 left. Wake Forest
forced Mississippi State to punt,
getting the ball back with 2:15 to
go. But Price threw incomplete
on three straight passes, the last
to Terrence Davis on fourth-
and-7 with 1:40 left.
That had Bulldogs fans clank-
ing their cowbells and chanting
S-E-C, S-E-C as Mississippi
State ran out the clock.
Ballard came just shy of Walter
Packers school-record of 183
yards rushing in the 1974 Sun
Bowl against North Carolina.
The senior more than compen-
sated for a first-quarter fumble
that led to Wake Forests first TD
and only lead.
Mississippi State scored 16
straight points after that to take
control, and the Bulldogs 16-7
lead at halftime would have been
bigger if not for three turnovers
in the first half, including an in-
terception in the end zone with a
secondleft. BudNoel intercepted
a Relf pass at the Wake Forest 1in
the second half.
The Demon Deacons opened
the second half by driving 64
yards before Tommy Bohanan
ranina TDfroma yardout topull
Wake Forest within 16-14. But
Mississippi State sacked Tanner
Price four times in the third quar-
ter alone and harassed him into
plenty of throws that hit the
groundbeforereachingreceivers.
Relf scooped up a low snap in
the shotgun and got the ball to
Ballard, who ran through the
middle of the line and outraced
the Demon Deacons for a 72-yard
TD with 12:53 left. That put the
Bulldogs up 23-14 and gave Bal-
lard 179 yards on 11 carries. His
first TD, a 60-yarder, came three
plays after Wake Forest turned
one of his fumbles into a 14-yard
TD by Brandon Pendergrass.
Fletcher Cox had a sack and al-
so blocked a 33-yard field goal.

WAKE FOREST
DALLAS G.J. Kinne tried to
put into perspective all the posi-
tive things that happened during
this senior season at Tulsa.
Except the ending really hurts.
We had a lot of adversity early
in the season. ... For us to rattle
off some big wins, get to a bowl, I
think that was a great accom-
plishment for us this year, Kinne
said. It was tough to end this
way.
Kinne threw three touchdown
passes in his final game, but BYU
scored after a fake spike with 11
seconds left Fridayfor a 24-21win
in the Armed Forces Bowl.
The Golden Hurricane (8-5)
hadwonsevengames ina rowbe-
fore a loss in their regular-season
finale against then-undefeated
Houston just more than a month
ago with a spot in the Conference
USA championship game on the
line. Then they finished with a
season-low 272 yards in losing
their first bowl game infive years.
While Kinne described himself
as still being in shock after his
38th consecu-
tive start, first-
year coach Bill
Blakenship ex-
pressed how he
felt about his
team, whose
other four losses
this season were
against top-10
teams.
I told them I
loved them. I
thanked them.
This has been an incredible run.
These guys endured a lot of ad-
versity, Blakenship said. They
never, never flinched. These guys
never, never lookedfor a way out.
They just kept finding a way to
fight back, and we did it all year.
Im very, very proud of them.
BYU(10-3) was out of timeouts
andat the 2whenquarterbackRi-
ley Nelson hurriedly led his team
to the line with a call from the
sideline to spike the ball and stop
the clock.
Instead, Nelsonfakedthe spike
and then threw his third touch-
down pass to Cody Hoffman, giv-
ing the independent Cougars
their fifth 10-win season in coach
Bronco Mendenhalls seven
years.
There is a play we have, red
alert, that he called on his own,
which is a fake spike and then
throwa touchdown, or youbetter
throw a touchdown, Menden-
hall said.
BYU, which won nine of its last
10 games after consecutive losses
in September, needed 12 plays to
go 48 yards on its last drive.
Nelson converted a fourth-
and-9 with a 14-yard scramble
and later ran 8 yards on third-
and-5. Thenhe calledthe play the
Cougars hadnt practiced in
about two months.
As our guys hustled to the
ball, their guys kind of stood up
because we were yelling Clock
it! Riley said.

the first time in five years

TULSA
was fun for a while and then it
got to be a little hectic. Its not
because hes sick, but he said,
OK, Ive had enough. Which is
what he always does.
Jay admitted that the fall
that sent Joe to the hospital
earlier this month was hard for
everyone to take. Father and
son had been taking daily
walks around the neighbor-
hood before the injury.
As one would imagine, the
doctors aggressive treatment
of the cancer has taken a toll on
Joe.
Like anybody else going
through that stuff, he gets
tired, Jay said. (You tell him)
Dad, dont feel bad. Guys who
are 30 and go through this get
tired. He takes everything with
a positive attitude and fights it.
He fights. He never gets
down. Its about the next chal-
lenge and this is another chal-
lenge for him.
Another challenge is bat-
tling public perception in the
wake of the Jerry Sandusky
scandal that led to Joes oust-
ing by Penn States board of
trustees.
I think once everything
comes out and once everybody
sees what happened I think
people will realize without
giving you specifics that Joe
conducted himself in a way
that is consistent with his char-
acter, Jay said. I think well
see that.
I think theres been some
criticism about what he did
and didnt do. I think that will
all come out without getting
into specifics because I cant.
Jay said medical and legal
considerations have prevented
his father fromtalking publicly
in the past several weeks, but
that he imagines that will
change in the future.
As for Jay himself, Mondays
TicketCity Bowl will almost
certainly be his final game with
the program. He is reportedly
one of four current Penn State
coaches to have interviewed
for the full-time head coaching
job along with interim coach
Tom Bradley, defensive line
coach Larry Johnson and line-
backers coach Ron Vanderlin-
den.
Bradley and Johnson have
both confirmed they have in-
terviewed. Vanderlinden has
not addressed it and Jay only
laughed when asked about it.
I think thats something you
to ask (Joyner) about, he said.
I dont want to get into the
specifics. Im not denying it or
confirming it. You have to ask
Dave.
If nothing else, Jay has man-
aged to keep a sense of humor
through these past two hectic
months. When asked if he
might stay active in politics,
Jay joked, Lets just say Im
not going to run for attorney
general any time soon.
PATERNO
Continued from Page 1B
planning right now, Paterno
said. If we get into anemergen-
cy we can play (McGloin).
It would be Boldens first
start since Oct. 15 against Pur-
due. The sophomore led the of-
fense first in the opening seven
games of the season while ro-
tating with McGloin, who start-
ed the final five games with lit-
tle playing time for Bolden.
Bolden struggled mightily in
the limited cameos he got
down the stretch, but Paterno
said he has looked much better
recently.
Rob has had a really good
week, a very good week, Pater-
no said. I think thats one of
the benefits of us having played
both of those guys all year. You
have a guy who has played a lot
of football and whos ready to
go. Hes started a lot of games
for us. Were in a good situation
there.
McGloin had not practiced at
all before coming down to Tex-
as for bowl week preparation.
Friday was the most extensive
work the Scranton native has
done since the incident with
Drake after practice on Dec. 17.
Two days after he said he hit
his head on the locker room
floor while grappling with
Drake, McGloin said he was ex-
periencing issues with balance
and vision. Back in pads on Fri-
day, McGloin is hoping to show
that he is able to play in some
capacity against the Cougars.
Just day-to-day, Paterno
said. They want to see what he
could do. They have all these
crazy computer tests they put
him through. Hes done some
throwing. So well have to go
from there.
Hes played enough. If he
can do some things (today), he
should be ready to go. It de-
pends on the situation.
If McGloin is unavailable,
walk-ons Shane McGregor and
Garrett Venuto would be next
in line on the depth chart. Paul
Jones did not make the trip for
academic reasons.
Infirmary report
Outside of McGloin, Penn
State enters the bowl game rel-
atively healthy. One notable
omission from practice Friday
was All-America defensive
tackle Devon Still, who is deal-
ing with turf toe. Defensive line
coach Larry Johnson said the
ailment will not keep Still out
of the game.
Testing the waters
Juniors Jordan Hill and Ger-
ald Hodges, two key compo-
nents of Penn States defense,
have filed paperwork to receive
an NFL draft evaluation. Hill
said earlier this month it would
take a very high grade -- per-
haps a first- or second-round
projection --
for himto con-
sider forgoing
his senior
year. Line-
backers coach
Ron Vander-
linden said
Friday that
Hodges will
also see how
his breakout
junior season
has influen-
ced NFL
scouts.
All-star
game for
Lewis
He cant of-
ficially sign
with Penn State for another
month, but Eugene Lewis hap-
pened to be in Dallas as well
this week.
The former Wyoming Valley
West standout played in the Of-
fense-Defense All-American
Bowl on Thursday night at
Cowboys StadiumInArlington.
The event is the first of four
high-profile all-star games for
recruits that take place this
time of year.
A quarterback for the Spar-
tans in the past two years, Le-
wis played wide receiver for the
West squad in a 21-14 victory.
Lewis is slated to play receiver
for the Lions.
"Theres still some things Ive
got to work on and get back to,
but I think once I really start go-
ing hard at the wide receiver
position Ill be good," Lewis
told recruiting site
247sports.com before the
game.
Lewis, whohas transferredto
Meyers for his final semester,
has not wavered from his
pledge to Penn State, which re-
mains without a full-time head
coach.
Im still committed to Penn
State," Lewis said. "I cant wait
to see who the coach is going to
be, but right now Im still sol-
id."
He was joined in the game by
fellow District 2 star and Penn
State recruit Nyeem Wartman
of Valley View. At that game,
the Lions also picked up their
first verbal commitment since
the Jerry Sandusky scandal
broke in November.
The name was a familiar one.
New Jersey defensive lineman
Jamil Pollard pledged to Penn
State during the evening -- the
second time he has done so this
year.
Pollard, who played with
Wartman on the East squad,
had initially committed to the
Lions inthe spring, only tohave
the school back off because of
academic concerns. Penn State
has since put the offer back on
the table. And on Thursday Pol-
lard chose the Lions again, this
time over offers from Boston
College, Alabama, Florida and
Iowa, among others.
BOLDEN
Im still
committed
to Penn
State. I

to see who
the coach
is going to
be, but
right now
Im still
solid."

down making a tackle during a
game in 2010, went to all the
Rutgers home games, worked on
the radio broadcasts and was
with the team in New York all
week leading up to the bowl.
After the game, as the Scarlet
Knights accepted the trophy at
midfield, Schianos acceptance
speech was short: Eric! Eric! he
shouted into the microphone,
this ones for you.
LeGrand was shown in his
wheelchair on the jumbotron,
beaming a wide grin and the
crowd chanted, Eric! Eric!
Punching it in
Rutgers grabbed a 7-6 lead
early in the second quarter when
Jamison powered through a tack-
ler and scored on fourth-and-goal
from the 1.
On the next possession, Iowa
State couldnt handle one of
Rutgers many blitzes, and Kha-
seem Greene and Wayne Warren
swarmed and stripped Barnett.
Scott Vallone scooped up the
fumbleandreturnedit12yards to
the Iowa State 4. The Cyclones
managed to hold Rutgers to San
San Tes 21-yard field goal.
Jantz, who was Iowa States
starter the first half of the season,
replaced Barnett after the sack.
The Cyclones defense didnt
hold up as well on Rutgers next
possession. The Scarlet Knights
marched 66 yards, 49 on the
ground, and Jamison juked his
way into the end zone from 12
yards out to make 17-6.
Justin Francis finished Rutg-
ers strong second half by block-
ing Zach Guyers 44-yard field
goal attempt with 57 seconds
left.
Iowa State jumped out to a 6-0
lead in the first quarter, with
Guyer kicking field goals of 40
and 46 yards on the Cyclones
first two possessions. Inaccurate
throws by Barnett were key to
stalling each drive.
The redshirt freshman was 2
for 7 before giving way to Jantz.

All the ingredients are there for
the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pen-
guins to have a favorable result to-
night (5:05 p.m. start) when they
host theBridgeport SoundTigers.
The Penguins are coming off a
dramatic 6-5shootout winagainst
Hershey onWednesday. They will
attempt to carry that momentum
into tonights game.
They are also facing a Bridge-
port team that is in last place in
the Northeast Division, withlead-
ing scorer and former Penguin
Tim Wallace currently playing in
the NHLwith the NewYork Islan-
ders.
But add it all up, and it still
doesnt mean the Penguins are
taking the Sound Tigers lightly as
they prepare for their first match-
up of the season.
We are feeling good right now,
but were playing against a team
we havent seen before, defense-
man Philip Samuelsson said.
Their record isnt the best right
now, so we expect to get a hungry
and desperate team.
HeadcoachJohnHynesagreed.
Bridgeport will be a challenge, es-
pecially considering are 4-3-0-3
against teams outside their divi-
sion.
We havent been great outside
our division and Bridgeport is a
new opponent, he said after Fri-
days practice at Coal Street. We
know were going to get their A
game.
With Wallace up in New York,
Bridgeport still has several offen-
sive threats, including rookie
Casey Cizikas (5-13-18), Jeremy
Colliton (7-10-17) and Justin Di-
Benedetto (9-5-14). Former Pen-
guinJoeyHaddadis alsoexpected
to make a return trip to Wilkes-
Barre, having played in Bridge-
ports last two games.
They have players that will
challenge us in the offensive
zone, Hynes said. Theyre a
tough, physical team that will be
very aggressive.
NOTES

TUNKHANNOCK In recent
years, Pedro Bracero was always
getting overlooked.
The Nanticoke senior was
never in the same conversation
with wrestlers in his weight
class because it always consist-
ed of standouts such as Cough-
lins Josh Popple (state runner-
up), Lake-Lehmans Shane Stark
(state third-place), Crestwoods
Mike Mirra and Pittston Areas
Jason Laboranti (both state
qualifiers) and Dallas Adam
Goeringer (regional fourth).
But now, after taking lumps
from those previously men-
tioned, Bracero finally thinks he
is making a name for himself.
And that started Friday, when
he won the 195-pound cham-
pionship at the Tunkhannock
Kiwanis Tournament. He ran his
season record to 6-0 with a pin
in the finals over Cedar Crests
Lukas Gerdes in 5:26 after lock-
ing him in a cradle.
It finally feels great after
being in everyones shadow like
Stark, Popple, Mirra, Goeringer,
it just feels great, Bracero said.
I didnt even expect (the cra-
dle). I just saw it there and went
for it and hoped for the best.
Bracero has used the matches
against the other standouts as a
learning tool and motivation for
this season. He did so with his
first varsity tournament cham-
pionship -- and first overall since
junior high -- and the first gold
medal for the Trojans at the
Kiwanis since 1985.
It feels fantastic. I feel like
Im a part of history right now,
the Trojan said.
Overall in the tournament, he
picked up three falls, including
one in the second round and the
quarterfinals. In Friday morn-
ings semifinals, he picked up a
10-2 major decision over Warren
Countys Jeffrey Budwash.
Hes still not in the clear as far
as stiff competition goes, with a
likely match up against another
state qualifier next weekend at
the Wyoming Valley Conference
Tournament in Hazleton Area
senior Chad Hoffman. But he
knows the past matches could
help him the next time around.
I look forward to him, Brac-
ero said about a possible match-
up with Hoffman. I got to make
sure I dont wrestle with a hot
head and wrestle to my ability.

I practice that a lot but I never

for anescape. It workednice.
Harry wasnt the only Black

freshman Jimmy Stuart claimed
the title at 113 after knocking off
Warren Countys Kyle Montague
8-6. Stuart built upa7-1advantage
early in the second period and
held off a late charge by his oppo-
nent.
Its awe-inspiring (to get this
win), Stuart said. I take a lot of
confidence from it because, first
tournament of the year, I winit as
a freshman.
Stuarts win was immediately
after a victory by another promis-
ing WVC freshman in Coughlins
Bobby Hawkins at 106.
That final was possibly the
most excitingof thenight asthere
was a flurry of action in the first
period, with a combined three re-
versals and six back points be-
tween the Crusader ninth-grader
andTerraceThompsonfromWar-
ren County. Eventually, Hawkins
got Thompson on his back five
moretimesinthelast twoperiods
withthe final time endingina pin
in5:48.
I almost lost thereat thebegin-
ning, but I never give up in a
match, Hawkins said. I thought
he was pretty confident that he
was going to win because he put
me on the back that early, but I
kept putting him on his back and
eventually he just (tiredout).

PITTSBURGH Pittsburgh
quarterback Ben Roethlisberger
and safety Troy Polamalu each
attended a full practice Friday
and are listed as probable for
the regular-season finale in
Cleveland on Sunday.
Roethlisberger practiced all
week after missing last Sat-
urdays 27-0 win over the St.
Louis Rams because of a high
ankle sprain. The injury oc-
curred three weeks ago in a
home win against the Browns,
but he played the following
Monday in San Francisco and
threw three interceptions in a
20-3 loss.
Polamalu (knee) did not prac-
tice until Friday but is expected
to start Sun-
day. Center
Maurkice
Pouncey mis-
sed the past
two games
with a high
ankle sprain
but said hes
going to play.
Linebacker James Harrison
(neck) and wide receivers Mike
Wallace (ankle) and Emmanuel
Sanders (foot) are listed as
probable.
LaMarr Woodley (hamstring)
is doubtful after not practicing
Friday, and Jason Worilds likely
will make his seventh start at
outside linebacker.
New England Patriots
FOXBOROUGH, Mass.
Tom Brady is practicing with
the New England Patriots after
being limited in Thursdays
session by an injury to his non-
throwing shoulder.
Two days after sitting out
practice, Brady stretched with
his teammates during the brief
period open to reporters Friday.
Asked what Brady was able to
do Thursday, coach Bill Belich-
ick said Friday: Play quarter-
back, the usual thing. When
asked if Wednesday was a
planned day off for Brady, Bel-
ichick said he thought that had
been covered.
The Patriots have said Wednes-
days absence was not injury-
related.
When asked whether Brady
would be able to play Sunday
against the Buffalo Bills, Belich-
ick said that, too, has been cov-
ered. Comcast SportsNet has
reported that Brady had X-rays to
check for a separated left shoul-
der and was told he was all set.
Miami Dolphins
MIAMI Reggie Bushs im-
pressive season-long display of
durability has ended with a knee
injury.
The Miami Dolphins running
back will miss their finale Sunday
against the New York Jets. He
was ruled out by coach Todd
Bowles after missing practice for
the third consecutive day Friday.
Bush, a 1,000-yard rusher this
year for the first time in his six-
year career, hurt his right knee
late in last weeks loss at New
England.
After five years with New Or-
leans, Bush joined the Dolphins
this season intent on showing he
could handle the role of an every-
down running back, and he did
just that. He leads Miami with
1,086 yards rushing, many com-
ing on dashes between the tack-
les.
His 216 carries were easily a
career high, and he also made 43
catches for 296 yards. His seven
touchdowns led the team.
New York Jets
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. Rex
Ryan expects Brian Schotten-
heimer to be back with the New
York Jets next season unless the
embattled offensive coordinator
gets a head coaching job else-
where.
Ryan says Friday that he puts
Schottenheimers return at prob-
ably 50-50 because he believes
there will be opportunities for the
assistant to get a top job in the
offseason. Schottenheimer has
turned down a few interview
opportunities in previous years
to remain with the Jets.

EasternConference rivals, the Phi-

Rangers.
Warmweather hit Friday in Phi-
ladelphia and was expected to last
until Sunday night.
The NHLs old-timers will get a
latestart onthefirst major event of
the Winter Classic weekend.
The alumni game between for-
mer members of the Flyers and
Rangers has beenpushedbacktwo
hours to a 3 p.m. start on Saturday
at Citizens Bank Park. The game,
whichincludesstarsincludingEric
LindrosandMarkMessier, wasres-
cheduledbecauseof aforecast that
calls for temperatures in the 50s
andsunnyskies. Theunseasonably
warm weather caused soft ice Fri-
day and forced a media skate to be
pushed to late afternoon.
The league will use Saturdays
game as bit of a test run for Mon-
days Winter Classic.
As long as it doesnt rain, said
Flyers forward Danny Briere, who
toured the park Friday.
Rainisalwaysaworrybecauseit
could increase the chance for inju-
ries.
Conditions werenear perfect for
the first three Winter Classics in
Buffalo, Chicago and Boston, with
seasonal temperatures and, in Buf-
falo, plenty of snow. Last years
game at Pittsburgh was switched
fromanafternoonstart to8p.m. to
avoid predicted rain. The rain
drops still hit.
Forecasters are predicting mod-
erate temperatures for Monday,
which should allow the outdoor
game to start on time.
The cold front should come
through by Sunday night, Weath-
er Channel lead meteorologist
Tom Moore said. The temps will
start dropping into the 30s and it
wont go up too much after that.
There are really no storms coming
this week anywhere in the United
States.
The Winter Classic is expected
to start on time close to1:30 p.m.
Lindros and the Flyers had been
estrangedsincetheir bitter parting
more than a decade ago. Lindros
won a Hart Trophy as NHL MVP,
made six All-Star teams, and led
the Flyers to the Stanley Cup final
in 1997. His career was shortened
byaseriesof concussionsandafall-
ingoutwithformergeneral manag-
er Bobby Clarke led to his trade to
the Rangers in 2001.
Lindros was all smiles Friday
whenhecaught upwitholdfriends
and attracted the kind of media
crushthat provedhewasworthyof
his spot as the star of the alumni
game.
Back in the orange and black,
Lindros said. Its been a while
since Ive pulled on a Flyers jersey.
Itll mean a great deal.
More than 43,000 fans are ex-
pected at the alumni game. Its the
kickoff to a series of events that in-
clude high school and college
games, aminor leaguegame, anda
public skate.
ALUMNI
In the first period, we turned
the puck over a fair number of
times in the neutral zone, Crest-
wood coach Joe Eyerman said.
We allowed Valley West to get
some good shots off rather early.
With the victory, second-seeded
Wyoming Valley West locked its
first Casey Classic championship
after a grueling five games in as
many games.
Its agrind; if yougodeep, thats
fivedaysinarowof physical check-
inghockey, saidPowell. It takes a
toll. Its almost like an Ironman
tournament.
Well, in all honesty, we all took
5-Hour Energy drinks, Wyoming
Valley West defenseman Colin
Harrison said. So we were pretty
wired.
Having spent much of its tenure
at the Mohegan Sun Arena at
Casey Plaza, the Casey Classic
championship game made its case
for a larger venue with a rousing
crowd of roughly 600 people.
Usually at a high school game,
you have say five, 10, 15 people
max in the stands, said Paddock,
who garnered the tournament
MVP title with a goal and two as-
sists. But this is completely differ-
ent. This is the Casey Classic.
After Crestwood closed the gap
to a one-goal deficit, Paddock per-
formed a dazzling play to advance
the Spartans lead to 3-1. From be-
hind the goal line, Paddock fired a
pass underneath the goalkeepers
leg pads, finding Tino Alunni for
an open shot.
Yakinowicz added his second
goal late in the second period
whenhelaseredashot from60feet
out that found the net.
Leading Crestwood was Tim
Hanlon with two goals. Hanlon
scored on a loose puck in the third
period and later added a goal with
2:03left tokeeptheComets incon-
tention.

Ovechkin scored early and late,

One of Ovechkins two goals
was actually a pass attempt that
got deflected into the net, but
the Capitals captain has five
goals in seven games, a further
sign that he is emerging from
the spotty play that has run
parallel to Washingtons slow
start. The former two-time NHL
MVP has 14 goals on the season.
Nicklas Backstrom also
scored his 13th of the season
his 100th career NHL goal

Calgary was left short-handed
when Rene Bourque was called
for holding 2:20 into the extra
period.
Erik Karlsson, who assisted
on Alfredssons milestone goal,
tied it at 3 with an unassisted
effort 4:28 into the third as
Ottawa battled back from an
early 3-0 deficit.
Nick Foligno and Zack Smith

when the Celtics outscored the
Pistons 36-21 to take an 86-64

Verizon drops fee plan
After a customer backlash, Verizon
Wireless on Friday dropped a plan to
start charging $2 for every payment
subscribers make over the phone or
online with their credit or debit cards.
In a statement on its website Friday,
the company said customer feedback
prompted the decision to drop the
convenience fee it wanted to intro-
duce on Jan. 15.
Verizon wanted to steer people to
electronic check payments, which are
cheaper, and automatic credit card
payments, which are more reliable.
Ford sees sales gains
Ford Motor Co. said Friday its name-
sake brand exceeded 2 million U.S.
sales for the first year since 2007, led
by gains for models such as the Fiesta
small car and revamped Explorer sport-
utility vehicle.
Smaller cars such as the Fiesta and
Focus are on pace for a sales increase
of more than 20 percent this year while
light trucks that include the Explorer,
Escape SUV and F-150 pickup may rise
at least 30 percent, the company said.
Fords total U.S. sales through No-
vember increased 11 percent.
Optimism on eurozone
Germanys finance minister says he
is confident that Europes politicians
will manage to stabilize the eurozone
in 2012 and keep the continents com-
mon currency together.
Wolfgang Schaeuble acknowledged
in an interview with business daily
Handelsblatt published Friday that
major problems that have built up over
a long time remain to be tackled in
some countries.
Germany, Europes biggest economy,
has backed the strategy of getting gov-
ernments to embark on often-savage
austerity measures to reduce deficits.

THE TIMES LEADER SATURDAY, DECEMBER 31, 2011

UNCASVILLE, Conn. The
parent companyof theIndian-run
Mohegan Sun casinos in Connec-
ticut and Plains Township says it
has failed to reach an agreement
to refinance $811 million in debt,
but lenders have waived a possi-
ble default.
The Mohegan Tribal Gaming
Authority said Thursday that a
delay in refinancing debt was
amongconditions that raise sub-
stantial doubt about our abilityto
continue as a going concern.
Mitchell Etess, chief executive
of the authority, which owns and
operates MoheganSunat Pocono
Downs and the Mohegan Sun in
Connecticut, told The Associat-
ed Press on Friday that the dire
warning is only a financial re-
quirement of auditors.
Auditors have no choice, he
said. They must put in that lan-
guage.
Etess cited the waiver as a vote
of confidence by lenders and cit-
ed fourth-quarter income of
$46.7 million, compared with a
$26.3 million loss in the same
quarter last year.
Etess said refinancing is taking
a long time because of the weak
recovery following a deep and
prolonged recession that has
sharply cut into consumers en-
tertainment spending.
He also cited the status of Na-
tive American gaming financing
generally.
Those impacts that have hap-
pened in the outside world have
impacted our bondholders
thoughts as we go through the
process, Etess said.
Last month, the Mississippi
Band of Choctaw Indians re-
ceived a six-month extension on
loans to May.
And in Washington state, reve-
nue at some tribal casinos fell as
much as 30 percent at the start of
the recession, forcing tribes to
struggle with ways to refinance
debt on new casinos and other
ventures.
A report issued in March said
that for the first time, revenue fell
in 2009 at American Indian gam-
bling casinos nationwide as the
recession forced consumers to
curtail spending. The report by
economist Alan Meister of Nath-
an Associates Inc. said casinos
generated about $26.4 billion in
2009, down 1 percent from 2008.

fails to get
refinancing
NEW YORK The stock
market is ending a tumultuous
year right where it started.
The Standard & Poors 500
index closed 2011 at 1,257.60, a
fraction of a point below where
it started, at 1,257.64.
The Dow Jones industrial av-
erage is up 5.5 percent for the
year. The Nasdaq composite in-
dex lost 1.8 percent in 2011.
McDonalds was the biggest
winner in the Dow this year
with a gain of 31 percent. Bank
of America was the worst,
down 58 percent.
The conventional wisdom is
the more risk, the greater the po-
tential rewards. But the opposite
is proving true this year: Inves-
tors playing it safe have gained
the most.
The most dull and conserva-
tive of stocks utilities
gained 15 percent, the largest
gain of the 10 industry sectors in
the S&P 500 index. Other win-
ning groups are consumer sta-
ples and health care companies,
up 11 percent and 10 percent in
2011 respectively.
In Europe, many of the biggest
markets ended down for the year.
Britains FTSE 100 lost 5.6 per-
cent, Germanys DAX 14.7 per-
cent.
Stocks end flat after big ups, downs

Stock Exchange. Trading has been quiet this
week with many investors away on vacation.
Markets will be closed Monday in observance of
New Years Day.
NEW YORK For the first time, the
top export of the United States, the
worlds biggest gas guzzler, is fuel.
Measured in dollars, the nation is on
pace this year to ship more gasoline, die-
sel, and jet fuel than any other single ex-
port, according to U.S. Census data go-
ing back to 1990. It will also be the first
year in more than 60 that America has
been a net exporter of these refined pet-
roleum products.
Just howbigof a shift is this? Adecade
ago, fuel wasnt even among the top 25
exports. And for the last five years,
Americas top export was aircraft.
The trend is significant because for
decades the U.S. has relied on huge im-
ports of fuel from Europe in order to
meet demand. It only reinforced the im-
age of America as anenergy hog. Andup
until a fewyears ago, whenever gasoline
prices climbed, there were complaints
in Congress that U.S. refiners were not
growing quickly enough to satisfy do-
mestic demand; that controversy would
appear to be over.
Still, the U.S. is nowhere close to ener-
gy independence. America is still the
worlds largest importer of crude oil.
From January to October, the country
imported 2.7 billion barrels of oil worth
roughly $280 billion.
Theres at least one domestic down-
side to Americas growing role as a fuel
exporter. Experts say the trend helps ex-
plain why U.S. motorists are paying
more for gasoline. The more fuel thats
sent overseas, the less of a supply cush-
ion there is at home.
Gasoline supplies are being exported
to the highest bidder, says Tom Kloza,
chief oil analyst at Oil Price Information
Service. Its a world market, he says.
The value of U.S. fuel exports has
grown steadily over the past decade, co-
inciding with rising oil prices and in-
creased demand around the globe.
The last time the U.S. was a net expor-
ter of fuels was 1949, when Harry Tru-
man was president. That year, the U.S.
exported 86 million barrels and import-
ed 82 million barrels. In the first ten
months of 2011, the nation exported 848
millionbarrels (worth$73.4 billion) and
imported 750 million barrels.

NATIONAL FORECAST: A developing area of low pressure centered in the Midwest will bring areas of
rain and snow to the Midwest and northern Plains today. Another storm system centered off the

THE TIMES LEADER SATURDAY, DECEMBER 31, 201 1

Our rooms speak volumes
about us andset decorators for
television shows specialize in
knowing what they can say.
Using colors, accessories and
telling details, set decorators
help flesh out a character, wheth-
er its a working-class stiff in a
worn-in apartment or a wealthy
doyenne in a slick salon.
For Los Angeles-based set dec-
orator Lynda Burbank, homey
means vegetable soup. I love the
soup palette of sage green, burnt
orange and warm beige these
colors are very soothing and
make people feel comfortable in
the set, she says.
For the sitcom Mike and Mol-
ly on CBS, she packs her sets
with details: Mikes moms
house was a delight to do. I found
a fabulous blue recliner with a
drink holder where she spends a
lot of time. Shes surrounded by
nail polish and various medica-
tions. Her house reflects that she
reads a lot, mostly romance nov-
els. Shes Irish Catholic, so there
are statues that reflect that.
When the set first appeared, peo-
ple came up to me and said it re-
minded them of their Aunt Sally
in Wisconsin, and I was so
pleased.
In one scene, Mikes mothers
boyfriend Dennis was supposed
to represent a cautionary warn-
ing to Mike about leading too sol-
itary a life. Burbank put Dennis
personal kit from the Vietnam
war on the dining room table, as
if hed been sitting and reliving
his past. Also a couple of shirts
on the back of the door in plastic
bags from the dry cleaners so
impersonal, so lonely, she re-
calls.
The room was only seen once,
but it drove home a plot point:
Mike realizes what might be in
store for him if he doesnt take a
chance on love, with Molly.
For the pilot of the CBS show
Two Broke Girls (the show is
currently decoratedby Amy Feld-
man), Burbank worked with
Glenda Rovello on the loft of a
young, wealthy woman who has
twin babies and not a clue about
motherhood. The set reflected
that, with a lamp shaped like a
gun, sharp-edged sculpture and
other things that werent child-
friendly, Burbank said.
Clutter and collections of
things give a room a lived-in
look, says Archie DAmico, set
decorator for ABCs Cougar
Town. He also has worked on
Ugly Betty and NYPD Blue.
Set decorators have hundreds
of prop houses and stores in Los
Angeles or NewYork fromwhich
to shop. Very often Ill need
somethingtomorrow, if not soon-
er, says Laura Richarz, who has
decorated sets on Married with
Children, Everybody Loves
Chris and True Blood.
Richarz says she starts by try-
ing to see the room through the
eyes of the characters that live
there. What would happen on a
daily basis in this set if it were a
real home? Who uses it, how old
are they, whats their means of
support? Do they watch TV, do
handcrafts?
Starting with the basic furni-
ture, set decorators thenaddlay-
ers of dressing. Half-read news-
papers, stacks of mail, pet leash-
es, half-burned candles, a knit-
ting basket, remotes and phones,
well-scrunched cushions, a full
wastebasket, even a plant with
leaves on the floor.

ome-furnishing cata-
logs and dcor maga-
zines tell us purple is
all the rage, and top de-
signers have been filling clients
homes with everything frompur-
ple wallpaper and furniture to
purple lampshades andthrowpil-
lows.
It can be a tough sell, says Be-
tsy Burnham, founder of Burn-
ham Design in Los Angeles, who
has used purple frequently this
year. Clients sometimes blanch
when they hear purple, envi-
sioning garish, overpowering
hues, she says.
Sometimes it takes putting
the color uponthe wall or buying
a couple of yards of the fabric to
convince them, she says.
Theyre usually thrilled with the
elegant results.
Ive done walls in a gray-pur-
ple and its super-sophisticated,
Burnham says.
It is true that purple has to be
used wisely. Too much purple
can seem Austin Powers-ish or
way too juvenile, says Brian Pa-
trick Flynn, founder of decorde-
mon.com.
So how can you choose the
right shades of purple and use
them well? Burnham, Flynn and
Sandra Espinet (who decorated
actress Alison Sweeneys home
entirely in purple for an HGTVs
Celebrity Holiday Homes spe-
cial this month) offer their ideas
and advice:
Start slowly
No need to invest much if
youre not sure whether purple is
for you. Buy several purple can-
dles for your dining room or a
purple throw blanket to drape
over your sofa.
Espinet suggests bringing in
some purple items like these dur-
ing the holiday season, and then
keeping them around after holi-
day decorations have been put
away.

Q: I recently
bought a new-
construction
condo in which
the living room
and master
bedroom are in
the basement
level.
The developer/builder in-
stalled cork flooring down
there, and already the tiles are
bubbling up. The unit next door
has the same issue.
The home inspection showed
no moisture in the walls,. so I
suspect it is related to it being
laid down on concrete. I have a
one-year warranty, and Id like to
know what the solution would
be, what to expect of the build-
er/developer in terms of fulfill-
ing the warranty.
Will different glue help, or
should they lay down a sub-
flooring over the cork and put
something else on top of it?
A: If the builder is still in
business and building condos, I
would not hesitate to call and
tell him about the problem. Id
also carefully read the one-year
warranty first to see what it
actually covers.
You say the home inspector
found no evidence of moisture in
the walls, but there is the matter
of a rising water table to contend
with, even in new construction.
If the cork was installed on a
porous concrete floor, the un-
glued seams of the cork could
absorb water. The planks can
swell and warp because of it. The
floor also expands and contracts
with changes in the weather, so
proper installation is required to
keep that to a minimum.
Although I am considering
putting a small cork floor in our
basement exercise area, Ive not
yet worked with it. It is a very
expensive material, however,
and messing up the installation
is a gigantic waste of money.
If I went with the cork, Id
probably put down the same
DRIcore subfloor Im putting in
my basement office, though
what Ive read about cork floor-
ing is that you need to cover the
concrete slab with 6-mil poly-
ethylene sheeting and run it
about three inches up the wall.
I gather, in your case, it wasnt
done that way.
Call the builder.
Q: I recently (accidentally)
broke off my toilet-paper holder
in my bathroom. It appeared to
be stuck into the wall with caulk
or mortar. Any idea what the
best solution is to fix this? Do I
remove all existing mortar from
the wall and add new material
to get this to stick?
A: The tile adhesive on the
piece still stuck to the wall likely
hides screws that hold it to studs
behind it (the fixture looks ce-
ramic, so there is weight that
needs to be accommodated).
I know this only because I did
something like this recently:
Remove the adhesive on the
back of the piece on the wall
carefully (I used a cold chisel
but found that a nail set gently
tapped with a rubber hammer
did the job better); replace the
adhesive with new; re-embed
the fixture, and tape it in place
with masking tape until the
adhesive sets completely.
It should work.
Q: We live in a rowhouse, and

we have higher-than-acceptable
radon levels in our basement.
We knew it when we bought the
home two years ago.
We now have a 3-month-old
baby and are thinking about
taking care of the radon. How
important is radon mitigation?
A: It depends on whom you
ask. Some experts will say it is
much ado about nothing; others
say it poses increased cancer risks.
Id ask your pediatrician about
the risk to your baby over the
long term, then proceed from
there. They do change the levels
of what is acceptable period-
ically, so it is best to seek out
the most current information
available.

Q&A
Q: How do you clean the
water container of a dehumid-
ifier? I have faithfully emptied
the containers of my Amana
dehumidifiers every day, but
they still have a slimy buildup
in the bottom. I tried scrub-
bing the bottom with a toilet
brush, as the area is hard to
move your hand around in. I
tried pouring bleach into the
container and scrubbing.
A: Amanas customer service
department recommends
spraying the inside of the con-
tainer with a commercial mold
and mildew remover and let-
ting it sit for the time directed
on the label before rinsing and
drying.
Filling the container with
white vinegar and letting it sit
overnight also might do the
trick.

Promises, promises.
We all want to believe prod-
ucts claims that theyll make our
home lives easier. But as the
Does It Work? testers have
learned, promises and reality
dont always match.
For todays story, food writer
Lisa Abraham, consumer report-
er Betty Lin-Fisher and home
writer Mary Beth Breckenridge,
all of the Akron Beacon Journal,
put five home products to the
test. Heres what we found.
Furniture Fix
Maybe youve tried the trick of
putting plywood under the cush-
ion of a sagging seat to firmit up.
Furniture Fix
works on the
same princi-
ple, except
its plastic
and provides
a little more
give than rig-
id plywood.
Furniture
Fix is a set of
interlocking
plastic pan-
els that slide
under a seat
cushion in an
upholstered
chair or
couch. Each
box contains
six panels, or
enough to
support one
seat. For a
regular-size
couch with three seats, youd
need three sets.
We tried out one set on a co-
workers aging sectional sofa,
where one particularly well-worn
seating area sagged and tended
to cause the sitter to lean to one
side. The Furniture Fix made the
seat noticeably firmer maybe
even a bit uncomfortably firm, al-
though not as hard as the board
we also tried. And we still found
ourselves leaning.
I think its an improvement,
Betty said, but I wouldnt spend
$15 on it.
Considering wed need at least
two and perhaps three to shore
upthesaggingportionof this par-
ticular couch, wed be looking at
an investment of $30 to $45.
Thats still considerably cheaper
than new furniture, but we
thought it was a little pricey for a
solution thats less than ideal.
Verdict:
Betty: It depends,
Lisa: It depends.
Mary Beth: It depends.
EZ Moves
SomehowI missed the physics
lesson that explained why cer-
tainmaterials reduce frictionand
makeheavythings easier tomove
across a surface. But apparently
the makers of EZ Moves paid
closer attention.
EZ Moves are plastic pads that
are placed under furniture legs to
makethefurnitureeasier toslide.
Each pad has a foaminsert with a
felt backing that can be removed
and used instead of the plastic on
hard-surface floors to prevent
scratching.
We tried the pads on Bettys
heavy sleeper sofa. Without the
EZ Moves, it took all three of us
working together to move it
across her carpeted floor. With
the EZ Moves, each of us could
move it alone. Even Bettys 11-
year-old daughter managed to
move the couch by herself with
the help of the EZ Moves, albeit
with considerable effort.
I thought the plastic was a little
flimsier than the furniture-mov-
ing glides I already had at home,
but the pads still seemed sturdy
enough to hold up to repeated
use. And we all liked the lifting
tool that comes with the glides,
which uses leverage (see, I did re-
member something from phys-
ics) to help you lift a corner of a
heavy piece of furniture so you
can slide the pads underneath. It
might even come in handy for
cleaning under furniture, Betty
noted.
Where we disagreed a bit was
on the value. Its a little pricey at
$19.99, but it does what it says,
Betty said.
Lisa and I disagreed. I dont
think $19.99 is unreasonable for
that package, Lisa said, especial-
ly considering that it included
the lifter and eight pads.
Verdict:
Betty: Snap it up.
Lisa: Snap it up.
Mary Beth: Snap it up.
Half Time Drill Driver
This device works with a pow-
er drill to let you switch bits
quickly. Its a hinged gadget that
fits into the drills chuck, allow-
ing you to drill a hole with one
bit, flip the device and drive a
screw with another bit.
We barely had it out of the
packaging when our male col-
leagues started offering opin-
ions. And when we tried it out,
the whine of the drill drew guys
to it like moths to a flame.
(Note to single women: Look-
ingfor a man? Ditchthe perfume.
Go for the power tools.)
It didnt take us long to recog-
nize a problem: The Half Time
Drill Driver puts the base of the
bit a good 5 inches away from
the drill. Add on the length of the
bit, and you have a real challenge
trying to drill a perpendicular
hole or keep a screw from wob-
bling as youre driving it.
Beacon Journal maintenance
guru Ed Grohosky took one look
at the construction of the Half
Time Drill Driver and voiced his
doubts that it would hold up to
hard use. Both he and photogra-
pher Mike Cardew noted that a
quick-change chuck would let
you change bits just as quickly.
Verdict:
Betty: Skip it.
Lisa: Skip it.
Mary Beth: Skip it.
Clean Step Mat
This door mats highly absorb-
ent fibers are supposed to trap
water and dirt instantly, so you
can just walk across the mat and
not even have
to stop to wipe
your feet.
It didnt
quite work
that way, at
least in our
test.
Each of us
muddied our
shoes, walked
across the mat
and then walk-
ed onto plain
newsprint
wed spread on
the floor. All
three of us left
dirty prints on
the paper, indi-
cating the mat
hadnt done its
job.
One thing
Ill say for the mat is that its mix
of dark brown, tan and white fi-
bers did a good job of hiding the
mud once it had dried. But as Li-
sa pointed out, that color scheme
made the mat look dirty in the
first place.
Whats more, as Betty discov-
ered, drying it in a clothes dryer
takes quite a long time.
Lisas comment pretty much
summed up howwe felt: I see no
benefit to it beyond a regular
doormat.
Verdict:
Betty: Skip it.
Lisa: Skip it.
Mary Beth: Skip it.
Swivel Store
Organizing freak that I am, I
hadgreat hopes for this swiveling
spice rack the first time I saw it
advertised. It promises to hold
spices or pill bottles, craft sup-
plies or whatever else fits in it
in just a 4-inch-wide space. The
unit has two racks that you pull
forward from the base and then
swivel to get access to the con-
tents.
What goes unsaid in the ads is
that you need 4 inches of clear-
ance on either side of the Swivel
Store unit so you can turn the
racks. Devoting a 12-inch-wide
sectionof cupboardspace to stor-
ing 20 spice bottles didnt strike
any of us as a good use of space.
The plastic used to make the
Swivel Store seemedflimsy tous,
and the pull-out racks were a lit-
tle wobbly. That, to me, feels
like its rockin and rollin, Lisa
saidas Bettypulledout one of the
racks.
I liked the side rails that kept
the bottles from tumbling off the
racks, but we discovered the
racks were too narrow for some
larger spice bottles. The unit was
also just a smidgen deep to fit
within the frame of Bettys cabi-
net, althoughwe were still able to
close the cabinet door complete-
ly.
Verdict:
Betty: Skip it.
Lisa: Skip it.
Mary Beth: Skip it.
Does it work? Products put to the test

ly, Flynn says. If you get your
purples right, they can be warm
and cool at the same time. My fa-
vorite shade is violet.
Soft lilacs and grayish laven-
ders can be easier to work with,
Burnham agrees. She advises
homeowners to stay with very
pale purples or dark, regal shad-
es.
Save the boldest shades of pur-
ple for one important piece, she
says, such as a beautiful vintage
chair in your hallway. Or do just
theseats of your diningchairs ina
great purple fabric.
Not just a girl thing
All three designers point out
that purple isnt just for young
girls bedrooms.
Purples cantakeonmasculine
or feminine styles, depending on
how theyre used, Flynn says.
Plummy tones are usually my
go-to shade for women. Blue-vio-
lets or dark purples are my first
choice for men. A good number
of my clients are bachelors. Tired
of seeing the same old thing
again and again, I often use pur-
ples instead of blues. Theres a
sense of regality to it.
Pale lilac sheets with a white
down comforter can look softly
feminine. But pair those same
sheets with a chocolate brown
bedspread and the look is perfect
for a bachelors apartment.
Purple in patterns
Asolid purple wall can be over-
powering, but Flynn points out
that wallpaper in shades of pur-
ple can have a much different im-
pact.
Sometimes I will go ahead
and do an entire room in a dark
violet, but with fabric or textured
wall covering, not paint, he says.
Purple textiles seem to immedi-
ately evoke a sense of luxury,
whereas purple paints can some-
times just be toomuchsaturation
with no texture to help warm it
up and give it depth.
Burnham says theres a grow-
ing selection of beautiful wallpa-
per and textile patterns that fea-
ture shades of purple.
Proper pairings
In the 80s, purple was mixed
with other strong colors such as
teal and gold, Espinet says. To-
day, youre more likely to see it
combinedwithneutral shades, or
see several shades of purple used
together.
Flynn often pairs purple with
grays and silvers for a modern
feel. I often use brown-grays
with plumto create a moody, ear-
thy feeling, he says. For mod-
ern homes, I love to play up char-
coal, gray-beige and lavender.
Burnham likes to balance lav-
ender with taupe, and says it
looks great with Army green and,
in some cases, Navy blue.
Get metals
An excellent way to use pur-
ples effectively is to pair them
with metallic accents. Flynn of-
ten pairs shades of purple with
silver or bronze.
Purple also works well with
gold, he says, but its important to
choose the right shades: Some-
times a yellowgold thats too yel-
lowcan really clash with the pur-
ple, whereas brown golds seem
to work effortlessly.
Where to put it?
Purple is a relaxing color, Es-
pinet says, and can work well in
just about any roomespecially
bedrooms and living rooms. But
she does suggest limiting its use
in the kitchen: Food, she says,
just doesnt look good with pur-
ple.
Withthat one warninginmind,
Espinet encourages people to
have fun and experiment with
purple. Every home is different,
she says, and purple can bring
glamour to each in a different
way.
PURPLE
Continued from Page 1C
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Orig-
inal art, in addition to family
photographs and heirlooms,
makes a home personal and in-
dividual.
But making the leap into col-
lecting art can be intimidating,
even to the bright and the bold.
Perhaps that fear factor forms
early, after youve visited art
museums and spotted security
guards standing on alert. Or
maybe it comes from the no-
tion that you have to be an art
insider toevenstepinside a gal-
lery. And, of course, theres the
price tag issue.
You dont have to have a lot
of money to buy art, says Cort-
ney Novogratz, who along with
her decorator husband, Robert,
has an HGTV show, Home by
Novogratz.Original art is a
major part of their design pro-
jects, and they typically spot-
light an artist in each episode.
Original art reflects who
you are as a person, as a family,
much more than buying some-
thing from a chain store, she
says.
For those who havent pur-
chased art before, Novogratz
advises going to art fairs to get
anoverviewof whats out there.
She has attended Art Basel
Miami Beach, where more than
2,000 international artists ex-
hibit their work.
You discover what your
tastes are, she says. You
quickly learn theres more out
there than paintings, which is
what people think of as art.
Theres photography, ceramics,
charcoal and pencil drawings,
glass and furniture. Some de-
signer chairs we purchased
have really held their value.
The next step is visiting gal-
leries, intimidating at first for
the uninitiated art seeker.
They have the power, not
the gallery owner, says John
OBrien, owner of Dolphin, a
gallery and custom framer in
the West Bottoms area of Kan-
sas City, Mo. I always tell peo-
ple to take their time. Get a feel
for what you like and dont
like.
Galleries are Novogratzs
preferred method for buying
art.
Yes, online is the world we
live in, but I like to see where
my moneys going and to meet
the artist, she says. It makes
art a richer experience.
For 32-year-oldErica Wrenof
Leawood, Kan., though, the
Web is a great research tool. A
gallery site led last year to her
first major art purchase.
I was hopping around web-
sites, as usual, being a design
junkie, says Wren, vice presi-
dent of communications at Bar-
kley, a Kansas City-based ad-
vertising and marketing agen-
cy. I came across pieces by art-
ist Eric Zener, and I was struck
by them.
So Wren made an appoint-
ment with Blue Gallery in the
Crossroads Arts District to see
some of the California artists
works. Gallery owner Kelly
Kuhnlet Wrentakehomesever-
al on approval, a common try-
before-you-buy practice among
gallery owners and customers.
Wren loved the piece Bursting
Through, a photograph of a
woman submerged in water
that was paintedwithsilver leaf
on a light box. She discussed it
with her family before buying.
Usually Im a muller-over
when it comes to purchases for
the home, she says. But the
piece and its title resonated
with me. Art shows a commit-
ment to something unique. I
think its important to support
the arts, which is more under-

Novogratz asks artists ques-

Artist Lonnie Powell of Lees
Summit, Mo., enjoys meeting
patrons and discussing his
work, much of which is portrai-
ture of African-American men
and women in oil, acrylic, char-
coal, pencil, pastel and water-
colors. Like most artists, he
prefers people purchase what
he has created from his own
minds eye and hands. But for a
60 percent retainer, he accepts
commissions for custom work,
a common practice.
It helps prevent art by com-
mittee, says Powell, whose
work hangs in the Federal Re-
serve Bank of Kansas City and
the H&R Block and Sprint
headquarters. That commit-
tee could be a family. Its best
when an individual makes deci-
sions. Art is personal.
Still, Novogratz has found it
works best when couples act as
a unified front on purchasing
art.
It shouldnt be stressful,
she says. It should be fun. Re-

thinks about her own home. Not
everythings in its place. Laundry
might be folded but on the sofa
because I got distracted by a
phone call.
This nuanced approach makes
it easier for viewers to imagine
lives in progress.
Characters social or economic
status also can be telegraphed
through the quality of furniture,
accessories and art. Bright, clean
rooms say one thing, while a
timeworn or messy space says
something else.
Richarz recalls working on the
Threes Company set: Three
single people living in a rental in
Santa Monica. The mismatched
pieces conveyedthe idea of room-
mates without much money,
throwing together stuff theyd
found to fill the space. Wicker
was inexpensive back in the early
70s so there were several pieces
of that. The dishes were brightly
colored plastic certainly not
mothers china.
In All in the Family, Richarz
notes, we know before we see
any characters that this is a work-
ing-class, traditional family. The
furniture anddecor are froma dif-
ferent era, the walls dingy. The
furniture is worn, the art is tradi-
tional. Things have been added
over the years, but nothing has
been taken away. It looks real,
she says.
BethKushnik, set decorator on
CBS The Good Wife, notes
that while the main characters
world was downsized after a di-
vorce, she still had a comfort-
able degree of wealth. Her apart-
ment was created as if shed hired
a decorator to give her and her
two teenagers a relaxed haven. I
used lush fabrics, silk lamp shad-
es and beautiful linens.
Kushnik started a blog called
The Good Look of the Good
Wife on CBS.com, in part be-
cause she was getting so many
questions fromviewers about the
sets. She shares the provenance
of room details, including paint
colors and furniture sources.
SET
AP PHOTO
Tim Eckel shows a set room
decorated by Julieann Getman
from Adam and Kristina s
home on Parenthood. Our
rooms speak volumes about us
and set decorators for televi-
sion shows specialize in know-
ing what they can say.
other, so we can definitely decide
on pieces of art together.
AT ART GALLERIES
Know the hours. Most are
closed Sundays and, like mu-
seums, on Mondays.
Let gallery employees know
your budget. They can show you
pieces accordingly.
Ask to see the gallerys flat
files/backroom/storeroom.
Theres more than whats on the
walls, and less expensive pieces
are often found there.
Dont be shy about financing.
Most galleries have layaway and
other options.
Negotiating is not for first-time
buyers. Art galleries dont typi-
cally negotiate price, Leedy
says. Although we may extend a
modest discount to collectors
who weve worked with before.
Mix it up. There are payoffs to
waiting, watching, researching
before purchasing, and there are
payoffs to getting out there and
being spontaneous, Blue Gal-
lery owner Kelly Kuhn says. I
love a collection that incorpo-
rates both. An entire collection
that is well-researched can be a
little dull and lifeless, and an en-
tire collection that is spontane-
ous might seemunfocused. Acol-
lection that embodies both strat-
egies has bothdepthanda degree
of surprise and a little danger.
OTHER PLACES TO BUY
ART
Student art departments. You
can find inexpensive great piec-
es, says designer Cortney Novo-
gratz of HGTVs Home by Novo-
gratz. Especially by student
photographers in small towns.
Flea markets and antique
malls. This is a great way to get
your family involved in collect-
ing, says Novogratz, who has
seven children. At flea markets,
one of my children collected por-
traits of women and clustered
them on a wall. Folk art and oil
paintings can be inexpensive at
flea markets.
Photography studios. Besides
doing portraits, some do art piec-
es.
LESSONS FROM A RECENT
COLLECTOR
Erica Wren, 32, of Leawood
purchased her first major art
piece, a resin mixed media work
by Eric Zener, at right. She de-
scribes it as a painting, photo-
graph and sculpture in one.
Its the size of a sheet of note-
book paper he usually creates
much larger pieces, she says.
But its my sliver.
Use online tools. Go to web-
sites of galleries you like. I have
two young children and dont
have time to spend my Saturdays
going from gallery to gallery,
Wren says. Follow galleries and
artists on Facebook and Twitter
to learn about events. For exam-
ple, Blue Gallery has a Wonder-
wall event eachDecember, where
all pieces are $500 and less.
Borrow from the gallery. Wren
tried out Zener pieces on approv-
al for a fewdays tosee what it was
like living with one before choos-
ing a piece. Acredit cardor check
is required to ensure unpur-
chased art makes it back to the
gallery.
Learn all you can about the
piece and artist. Thats the fun
part.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: My
friend Kayla and I
are 12 and in seventh
grade. Recently, Kay-
la informed me that
she has a new boy-
friend. I didnt mind
when she showed me
all his lovey-dovey texts.
When I asked Kayla why her boy-
friend didnt sit with us at lunch, she
laughed and said, Oh, he doesnt go
to school here. Hes a junior in high
school. Thats why Im writing.
Kayla is telling me that she and Ja-
cob are making out, and their texts
are getting progressively worse. Plus,
Kayla has said her parents are taking
her and Jacob to a concert. The con-
cert is out of town and they will be
renting a hotel room. Im worried for
my friend.
Am I incorrect for thinking this is
wrong?
Worried Friend in Washington
State
Dear Worried Friend: I agree with
you that at 12, Kayla is too young to
have a 16-year-old boyfriend. That her
parents give her enough unsupervised
time with him that theyre involved
in makeout sessions is also troubling.
If this continues, Kayla could become
pregnant and Jacob could be accused
of statutory rape even if Kayla was
a willing participant.
Talk to your mother about whats
going on. She may want to chat with
Kaylas parents about this and men-
tion the texts Jacob is sending their
daughter.
Dear Abby: I have a question that
may seem odd, but I hope you can
give me an answer.
I know children can tell when a par-
ent favors one sibling over another.
What about cats? I adopted two cats
not littermates from a shelter.
While I love them both, one drives
me crazy and the other is a sweet
lovebug. Naturally, I prefer the sweet,
cuddly one.
Can the kitty that drives me nuts
tell that I prefer his sister over him?
Love Em Both, Really, Albany, N.Y.
Dear Love Em Both: Cats and dogs,
after thousands of years of living so
closely with us humans, are indeed
sensitive to human emotions. They
can tell when were happy, when
we are nervous and when were de-
pressed. If you lavish affection and/or
treats on one and not the other, it can
create jealousy.
You dont know the history of the
cats you adopted. Its possible the
one that makes you crazy had less
human contact than Lovebug or
was mistreated in some way. With
patience and positive reinforcement
he may come around, so please dont
give up on him.
Dear Abby: One of my brothers,
Carl, walked away from our family
18 years ago. My parents are elderly
and in poor health. When they pass,
how do we refer to this sibling in the
obituary?
Drawing a Blank in Ohio
Dear Drawing A Blank: The entire
family history does not have to be
revealed in the obituary. All it should
say is, Survivors include: daughter
Wendy, (husband, if there is one) of
Ohio; son George, (wife); and son
Carl. If you know where Carl is,
include the information. If not, his
name should be enough.
DEAR ABBY

To receive a collection of Abbys most memo-
rable and most frequently requested po-
ems and essays, send a business-sized, self-
addressed envelope, plus check or money
order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear
Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box 447, Mount Mor-
ris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Making
a small difference is just as
easy as making a huge one now.
Choose the action that matters
most to you, and you cant help
but affect many other people
with what you do.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Youll
recognize a good thing immedi-
ately, and this instant recogni-
tion will give you an advantage.
There will be an opportunity that
will go to the one who is fast
enough to snap it up.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Youll
read others accurately. Even
though you can sense what oth-
ers feel, note that those feelings
are always changing. Remember
that you can always exert influ-
ence on the people around you if
you want to.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Youre
feeling open. Youll share sweet
moments with those who have a
direct line to your heart. Its as
though you saved the best for
last.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your com-
petitive spirit is strong. Whatever
the game happens to be, youll
feel as though you were meant
to be the winner and nothing
can get in the way of you taking
home the gold.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will
continue to imagine someone
dear to you as whole and healed.
Its not how the person is today,
but you can envision a day in the
future when this will be the case.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Youll get
your plan together. Just empty
your head of everything relevant
so that you can move on toward
the celebratory part of the day
mentally unfettered.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When
you count down the final sec-
onds of the year, youll be sure
to say goodbye to old pain and
hello to new adventures. Also,
youll kiss the one you want to
kiss.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Interacting with loved ones will
be an absolute dream. In fact,
they will probably visit you in
your dreams. Youll be working
out your feelings on both a con-
scious and a subconscious level.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You
wont bother to impress anyone.
Instead, youll do what you want
to do, knowing that what you
have, all you know and who you
are at this point in your life is
enough.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Youll
respond to your own directives
and turn a negative into a posi-
tive. Tell yourself that next time
you encounter the unwanted
condition, youll do something
bold to change the dynamic.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There
may not be any ribbon or tape to
break through, but nevertheless,
youll be like a runner crossing
the finish line. If your arms in the
air dont cue the applause, then
pat yourself on the back instead.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Dec. 31).
Youll promote your familys
interests, and theyll make you
proud in the new year. Lavish
time on the ones you love
in January, and special rela-
tionships thrive. Youll speak
knowledgeably and win a prime
position in March. Scorpio and
Sagittarius people adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 40, 2,
22, 49 and 13.

Attention bargain shoppers: Just in
time for the holiday shopping season,
here comes the 2012 Toyota Camry SE,
a midsize sedan that offers an attractive
list of features, but leaves no penny
unpinched when it comes to look, feel
and sound.
The Camry offers excellent fuel econ-
omy and a new voice-recognition system
thats among the best on the road.
Aside from those features, Toyota had
modest ambitions for the seventh gener-
ation of the midsize sedan thats become
the default choice for many buyers. The
cars platform and powertrain choices
are largely unchanged, though they offer
more of most everything the casual shop-
per wants: fuel economy, features and
room.
The interior is unimpressive, howev-
er. The materials look and feel very basic
and the gaps between pieces of trim are
uneven. Wind and road noise are very
noticeable.
The new Camry is a bit of a throw-
back, despite offering advanced voice-
recognition and connectivity systems.
The new Camrys basic interior recalls
the days before Toyota became a bench-
mark for solidity, fit and finish.
The midsize sedans fuel economy,
passenger space and trunk size all rank at
or near the top among midsize sedans,
however.
Prices for the 2012 Camry start at
$21,995 for a base model with a six-
speed automatic transmission and 178-
horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder
engine.
A 268-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 is
available in models starting at $26,640.
Ahybrid model gets a total of 200 horse-
power from its 2.5-liter engine and elec-
tric motor. The hybrid has a continuous-
ly variable transmission and starts at
$25,900.
I tested a nicely equipped Camry SE
with the four-cylinder engine and
options including JBL speakers, naviga-
tion and Toyotas new Entune system for
voice-recognition and some Web servic-
es. It stickered at $26,600. All prices
exclude destination charges.
The Camry competes with midsize
sedans like the Chevrolet Malibu,
Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda
Accord, Hyundai Sonata, Nissan Altima
and Volkswagen Passat.
The Camry will be challenged early
and often in 2012, when new versions of
the Accord, Altima, Fusion and Malibu
go on sale.
For now, at least, the four-cylinder
Camry matches the Sonata for class-
leading fuel economy. The EPArates it at
25 mpg in the city, 35 on the highway, 28
in combined driving.
The SEs drivetrain provides good
acceleration. The ride is soft. It absorbs
bumps smoothly, but leans noticeably in
fast curves.
The passenger compartment provides
plenty of head and legroom. The trunk is
large, with a wide opening for easy load-
ing. The trunk liner is flimsy and lacks
an inner handle. The lack of padding
contributes to a tinny sound when you
close the trunk.
That lack of sound insulation carries
over to the passenger compartment.
Wind and road noise are very noticeable
on the highway.
That bargain-shopper feel recurs
throughout the interior. The dashboard,
doors and center stack are covered in
hard plastic. The gaps between some of
the trim pieces are uneven, which was
unheard of in Toyotas at the brands
peak.
The Camrys styling is somewhat
reminiscent of the Toyota Corolla com-
pact, with tall, relatively flat sides, a big
greenhouse and a short hood and deck.
The 2012 Camry is the first vehicle
with Toyotas new Entune system, which
offers Internet connectivity and voice
recognition for phones, navigation and
more. The voice-recognition system is
outstanding. It batted a thousand under-
standing names and complicated
addresses.
I had less success evaluating Entunes
Internet connectivity. Toyota wouldnt
provide an app to test Entune with my
own phone. I was stuck with a very
glitchy Motorola Droid with Verizon
service, provided by Toyota.
The phones ability to connect to the car
was inconsistent, and the connection
was frequently interrupted when I tried
to use Entune to listen to Pandora
Internet radio. The voice recognition
for phones, navigation and the audio
system gets an A-plus; Entunes prom-
ise of Internet connectivity for audio
and other services still has to prove
itself.
The 2012 Camry provides lots of
features at an appealing price. It lacks
the driving dynamics and interior fit
and finish of the best midsize sedans.
The new Camry could have its hands
full as new versions of key competitors
hit the road over the next few months.
MARK PHELAN is an Automotive
Review for the Detroit Free Press.
